They won’t stand for it.
Stupid idiots.
I was planning to be a worthless taking parasite sucking from my host, but now I find out I have to pay for the blood.
My Dad always said "An education is expensive, no matter how you get it."
Sort of like: “I was for gun control until there were riots in the streets. Then suddenly the 15-day waiting periods didn’t seem like such a hot idea.”
