That means it's offered for sale at a very very very very good price.

The price may be so good because the owner doesn't know what it's actually worth,
or because they're having a super-duper temporary sale, or because it's something
you personally need very badly so it's worth a lot more to you personally.

In any case, it's called a 'steal', because when something is stolen, the stealer
gets what he wants for a very very very low price, and this is just like that.

<span>C. Whenever people have the opportunity to dramatize their feelings, to point out an issue, to educate others and alert them and open their eyes, I think they should do those things.

One of the most important themes of Civil Disobedience is the idea that we have the responsibility as citizens to point out the immoral aspects of our society, even if they are enshrined in the political order and culture of our society. Thoreau feels that society as a whole not only can wrong on moral issues but quite often is. It is the responsibility of each citizen to go against the grain when an injustice is discovered, and take the courageous step to hold a mirror to society to open the people's eyes to this injustice.
