Holy shit.
I been checking in here for awhile (and never posted).
It just dawned on me...Imagine if you had the sense of something slighlty above teenage mentaliy when you got sent there. You could have very easily conveyed the truth to your parents that they were getting financially raped.(This is however, impossible because we were in a bona fide bonner-ferrian-quasi-rich-kid-cult and no student (that wanted to graduate)with that knowledge would have discussed it).
Oh well... we were just 16 trying to make the best of every day.
Who knew C. Wolfe's double d's would be right in our face on day 1 screaming....."you dirty little druggie - why don't you admit you want to fuck my tits. You are now northern Idaho dereliction - Smoosh tonight or face certain armegedon. You will put up your beatsheat on Saturday night. We will convert you into a subliminal and give you your weekly stipend of $1.50 (that you spend on sourballs like a meth addict) whilst we drain your parents finances like a sheep at slaughter".
All the while Mel Wasserman is visiting his concentration camps - bolstering his emotional growth world domination tour whilst wolfing down RMAzing burgers (made my enslaved teens such as myself) so that his 60inch wastline and multi-million dollar wallet is maintained. What a damnnnnn cult.
Holy shit. What a raquet. I wonder what his fucked up wife is doing now that he is running some jewish afterworld cult.
At least we were sent there with quasi-prison sentences as opposed to the fucking derelict wannabe hippies and self righteous bastard staff members of 88-90 who choose to go there every day and preach that criiiiiiiizzzzzzzapppp.
