>The day before I had sold a full set of books to a poor woman (literally) with a couple of kids who I knew couldn't afford it. The last thing I did was stop by her house on the way to the Greyhound station and give her back her check. They were great books, but not for the $125 she didn't have. Kind of a sucky way to make money. Be glad you didn't go through with it.

That's why you'll never go to capitalist heaven. You don't have the heart to do it. As Branislav Nušić wrote in "Suspect person" (off head translation):

- why do you keep your underpants in a binder?

- well I got this apprentice as a lodger in my house, and he keeps taking mine

- so why don't you tell him to wash them and give them back?

- I can't do that, I don't have the heart for that

- Well if you don't have the heart, you won't have the pants.

But you'll go to programmers' heaven, where all code is made of recycled bytes.
