The primary purpose of this page is to help me remember what it is that I want to get when I'm in materialistic, pro-capitalism mood.
Note to My Current Students: These lists are primarily for my benefit. I have no qualms with you looking at them (you won't find anything bizarre or incriminating in here!). Let me remind you that bribery, in addition to being immoral, will not work. Any gifts from current students that seem to have been given with the intent to influence grades or my disposition toward you (e.g. DVD burners, cars, two-hundred dollar books or DVD sets) will be returned, unopened, possibly in front of your fellow students and accompanied by a long-winded sermon on morals. I may consider excessivly lavish gifts as a violation of the Academic Honesty Policy. There, that should be passive-aggressive enough. I'd say that you can avoid any problems by not getting me anything, but you seem to have gotten that idea already.
