And OB1, no, your analogy does not stand. I shattered it beneath my feet. I don't care if you bought them from the school. My change was if you HAD to buy them from the school. As in, wearing pants is not good enough. You must buy the school's pants. It's like buying one of those all access bracelets to the fair. You had to pay for each and every ride you rode that day. You just have to keep dividing up the price (even down to less than a penny) in your mind to realize it. Not a bit of it was free because you had to show that bracelet you purchased to ride each and every time.
