I think the intended market is guilty parents trying to pretend that their kids will get some educational benefit from the $200 Pokemon game system they bought for their kids last Christmas.
Agreed. Those opposed to universal health care point out that "a government bureaucrat will not care about your health". But since when does a corporate bureaucrat care about one's health?
I don't want my medical claims subject to the approval of people who get paid bonuses for keeping costs down.
Yes, Prince Charming is a takeoff on the traditional fairy story. It's actually a collaboration with Robert Sheckley. I would suggest that any of the Zelazny/Sheckley collaborations would be suitable for kids.
Don't waste your time learning Wookie -- they're not hiring right now. But if you can speak Bocce then you can get a job on any of the Hutt-controlled planets. What the galaxy really needs, however, is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators. I suggest taking some classes in Human-Cyborg Relations.

You're arguments are irrelevant: public schools do not have the option of kicking out poor learners. To substitute for the present system a private system solution must have an answer for this *before* "the meanwhile", not in fairyland-time.
You remind me of the story of the young lady who went to see a production of Hamlet and came out of the theater saying "I don't understand why everyone thinks that play is so great -- it's just a bunch of cliches strung together!"
I can't recall if it was one of Peter Norton's books, or in the preface to PC Magazine's _DOS_Power_Tools_, but back in the heyday of DOS 3.3 the observation was made that an HDD is an aluminum platter coated with iron oxide; and the author then asked "would you trust your data to a rusty pie plate?"
And rhetorically: Since ARC already had a special agreement with J&J for their logo, why not partner with J&J for special "Red Cross Edition" first-aid kits -- with part of the revenue going to ARC?

They migrate, too, you know -- to be with their beloved coconuts on Fire Island.....

Except if the user has Outlook set to use Word as their email editor; then it's exactly like typing it up in Word.

You mean that the original poster might actually want what he explicitly said he wanted?
Inconceivable!

"Futurama"? I'm not familiar with that term. Sounds like the name of a non-Roddenberry-produced heathen episode to me!
Sing praises unto the one true Creator!
Which is why I worship Gene Roddenberry.
Praise the Creator!

Zelazny's my favorite author, but there are better places for younger ones to start than Lord of Light or Amber.
Doorways In the Sand is great for pre-teens; and I personally believe that Eye of Cat should be required reading for the younger ones.
Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming is both hilarious and appropriate for kids.
There are a lot more kid-appropriate Zelazny titles that I can't think of off the top of my head.

Yin Xintian is obviously a counter-revolutionary traitor.
The State Intellectual Property Office will have to be purged.
Do not believe him! Do not expect to hear from him ever again!

Ah, the McSchools solution. No quality issues there.....

The Foolish Woman
-----------------
A MARRIED Woman, whose lover was about to reform by running away,
procured a pistol and shot him dead.
"Why did you do that, Madam?" inquired a Policeman, sauntering by.
"Because," replied the Married Woman, "he was a wicked man, and had
purchased a ticket to Chicago."
"My sister," said an adjacent Man of God, solemnly, "you cannot
stop the wicked from going to Chicago by killing them."
-- Ambrose Bierce, 'Fantastic Fables'
Pamela Hensley played Princess Ardala.
"three quorks for muster Mork!" just doesn't sound right.....
". . . surely you can compare $130 to $0."
Especially when what you really want to charge is $1,000,000 per copy.

So you're saying that "middle of the road" is the same as "Republican"?
Or that "middle of the road" policies are by definition Republican policies?
". . . for the most part." -vs- "But this statement just doesn't make much sense."
Your rebuttal agrees with your opponent's point.
Weasel words: they're not just for breakfast any more.

What part of "three co-equal branches of government" don't you get?
Agreed.
And rhetorically:
Since ARC already had a special agreement with J&J for their logo, why not partner with J&J for special "Red Cross Edition" first-aid kits -- with part of the revenue going to ARC?
"profit center" - ?
"Non-profit" does not mean "gets to ignore financial issues".
ARC still has to at least break even or they will cease to exist.
That doesn't make it right to violate their agreement with J&J, though.
Naw, just wait for a bit, and no more door!
