Cheer up Alix – sure your classmates would make nice specimens to observe – the teachers sure would… surviving in their natural habitat, going about their job of stuffing knowledge into unsuspecting innocence. Oh dear – the mere thought makes me feel under the weather!

Business is out of control. It does not provide satisfactory options for people to live more than subsistence, hand-to-mouth lives, with no financial stability. THAT is the THIRD WORLD ECONOMY, coming soon to YOUR neighborhood.
