And this is where ya fucked up. You don't steal from the rich-er.

Or the less cheap rich, anyway. Aunt Becky’s husband Mossimo was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He had the means.

What a perfect metaphor and explanation for the American socio-economic system in a nutshell:

  • the have-not’s
  • the have’s
  • the have-a lot’s
  • those ones who play the three against each other for profit

How do these students socialize with each other once on campus? Are there tribes based on these dynamics? Do they infect every aspect of academic and residential life?
