A Matter of Mean People and Text Books

I would like to open this blog with a few questions.

Why are people so mean, pig-headed and power hungry sometimes?

AND

Why do they make super long text books that are so boring, not to mention repetitive, you feel like shooting your brains out on a subject you love and are very interested in, and then make you pay tons of money for? Eh?

People are people, and some times they just are as they are. They may walk around with there nose in the air, and pretend they know everything. But it seems to me all they really show off is their nose hairs and the green gems that dangle within. Not to mention that they end up running into stuff because they are to busy being better than everyone else. I work with someone who is this way. She is a good and reliable worker, but sometimes I think shes lonely. I wonder if she knows why?

As for the Text Books.....why? Why would you do that? Through out the space of time, and I'm sure many will agree, one is assigned about 40 pages on a sections of their topic as home work that could have easily been condensed to 10 or even 15 pages and could still have gotten the same point across. Why? Is it to test the boundaries of the students love for the subject?

"Hey Bob check this out! If they can make it through this 500 paged book they really have to love there subject!"

"Your right Bill! But hey! Lets add another 600 pages and really give them a run for their money!"

"Ya! And then lets repeat what we just said twenty different times under different subject headings so as to make them seem "different"! And then we can spread it out over 3 different chapters."

"Ha!"

I swear this is the conversation they have. Those little puke-heads.

(Me) "Well, Ha Ha to you Gentlemen! I will finish it! So there!"

(Them) ..............

(Me) "Thats what I thought!"
