That last cl.ass I dont even need, but Pick-a-prof says its a lecture cl.ass where everyone gets an A for good attendance (and its only 1 hour on a friday). I figure its an easy GPA booster and I can just bring my laptop to cl.ass and post on Gamespo.

So I've been thinking about this advice a lot lately, having heard a lot of people say it to me. Is it just me, or is this awful advice? The ones who say that seem to be the ones who also say smile and proclaim that money can't buy happiness. O RLY? Well it can buy food, transportation, health insurance, a dental plan, a place to live, and numerous other things we'd pretty damn unhappy without. It seems to me like everyone who says those things is actually financially well off, and is just blissfully ignorant to the fact that their money has indeed bought happiness. The financially stable adults who feed me that line while sipping a 4 dollar cup of coffee from starbucks need to do a little introspection. I personally would rather do a boring job and not have to worry about eating spaghetti 3 times a week, or never getting to retire, or getting cancer and being a victim of the worst healthcare system in the developed world. I can't think of any job that would be more stressful than that.

My first test bent me over. I'm gonna up the ante and pull out a B, then switch my major to business law.

If I ever have to read another 100 pages about balance sheets and income statment tabulation, I may jump off the empire state building.

I won't. I'll purge him from my memory. He'll be as absent in my thoughts as he already is on the WWE website.

I have little tolerance for seeing people say how much they'll miss Benoit, or how they want him to R.I.P. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and can deal with this however they feel is best. So keep in mind that the following rant is simply my opinion on how benoit should be remembered.

What Benoit did in the ring does not erase the fact that he bound his wife, strangled her to death, and smothered her 7 year old boy. His legacy is forever tainted, and nothing he's ever done is worthy of acclaim. He is a monster, whether you want to believe it or not. He robbed an innocent young child of the right to live; he's a disgusting, putrid savage.

Claiming that he shouldn't be defined by his actions over 3 days, or that you still respect him, or whatever is either a poor coping mechanism, or a willful ignorance toward a terrible, terrible act.. This sort of attitude is dangerous. Would you give a public tribute to Hitler because he was a master of ivnoking pathos in his public speaking engagements, and because he expedited the growth of the German economy? Would you give a public tribute to Osama Bin Laden because he was extremely creative, and contributed several scholarly theories to Islam? Hell no you wouldn't, and if you tried, you'd probably get your ass handed to you. Vince himself apologize for memorializing a murderer (kind of) and he damn should have.

Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone held everyone accountable. Imagine if moderate, virtuous Muslims held murderous jihadists accountable. Imagine if every American with civic pride demanded that a Congress and an executive branch with a total of one child in Iraq quit sending the children of disadvantaged communities to war without an absolutely impeccable exit strategy. Imagine if everyone who valued human life made it clear to their elected officials that abortion and infanticide are NOT ok. Imagine how much better race relations would be in this country if those Americans of integrity had stood up to slave owners earlier, repudiated compromises, and DEMANDED that human beings not be treated like property.

It needs to be clear to any man who even thinks of laying a goddamn finger on his wife or child that society will never respect him again, and that his legacy on this earth will be worth less than a Calculus book written by paris Hilton.
