I believe in the inherent dignity and worth of individuals.
But I have to admit, I also believe that a fair number of people are idiots, jackasses, pompous windbags, or black-hearted cynics... and I've spent most of my life trying not to let that lot get me dead -- by accident or on purpose.
[Scowls.]
I noticed something, Nall. When I tried to fill out the census form, it would not allow me to write answers that were not true -- and it did not limit that to answer I myself knew or did not know where true. It would not let me say that there was an oversight department to deal with we immigrants. Yet in any ordinary governed nation or community, if there were so many being brought in, in so extensive a program, there would be a department of oversight.
There is no oversight external to Mayfield, Nall. Whatever this place is, it is running in some form of isolation, without an external control, only internal controls.
Do you believe in a God, Nall? I suspect Mayfield, or whatever runs it, does not.
