HURRICANE KATRINA

HAS RAVAGED THE PAF 101 COMMUNITY!!!!

HURRICANE KATRINAIt will take about 20 competition points from this class to compensate for losses caused by this disaster. We are still paying for Katrina.

Wait! There’s More!•A financial meltdown has taken more points away!

•Our society has just lost another 20 points.

Wait! There’s Even More!•Everyone gets basic health insurance.

•This will cost more than 50 points.

13

Debt Takes its Toll!!!•Another 50 because the class before you borrowed from you.

•To make it budget neutral, all groups would have less than zero competition points which means taking points away from earned grades.

14

Wait, there’s the Fiscal Cliff •Our society will lose only another 39 because even God would not ask for the necessary sacrifice of current 101 students. WORD.

15

OMG•Even God would not ask for the necessary sacrifice of current 101 students.
