The words of the prophet
Are written in his bestselling book,
Which you can buy for $24.95
At any convinient bookstore.
All his wisdom can be found
In 350 pages of ink.
If you order his knowledge online,
We throw in a free radio to God,
So that you, too, can speak
Directly to the Big Man.
But it's a limited-time offer,
Not available in some states of mind
Or Canada.

I would have thought NAFTA would have helped those poor Canadians with this offer.  Or maybe Canada is just a different state of mind!     Another interesting look at the world.  < !signature-->

They don't sell as well in Canada because of the currency exchange stuff.  I mean, a penny isn't even worth a penny in Canada, is it?

I wonder why us humans have to put a price on everything.. Hmm...  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

I think it makes us feel more important if we can put a price on everything and then be able to afford said price.  I mean, owning a fancy car or a big house or the latest electronic marvel is grounds for high status in our society.  It's unfortunate.

what an unfortunate, but real look at society! Again it goes back to society wanting to conform.
