Why does no one consider that the government are lying to us? There have been some who've talked about it, yeah, but no one really seriously thinks about it. But we know they've got the ability to change memories, haven't they? They can make people forget their lives here, or at least SOMEONE can. So why do we all think they haven't just done that? There's never been a group of people in power who didn't love to see their populace docile and harmless and quiet. They've got every reason to alter our memories and our thoughts so that we're nice and obedient to them.

Why are we swallowing what they tell us? Why aren't we questioning them? Why aren't we challenging them? We've got the power to make them scared, so why aren't we? We're powerful, and we'll fight for what's right if we've got the chance, so why AREN'T we doing that? We've got to organize. We've got to make change.

If I may ask - what is the government like where you're from?

[welcome]

Attentive. Omnipresent. Elusive. Slightly menacing. You know--everything a good government should be.

[kittenjones]

Do they do things to you that alter the way you think? So that you believe how they think you ought to believe?

[welcome]

Absolutely. On a weekly basis, for some people.

[kittenjones]

[ Oh, God. ]

That's horrid. And you're not upset about it at all?

[welcome]

Why would I be?

[More to the point, how could he be? He's no stranger to the re-education facility.]

[kittenjones]

No. Right.

[ She bites her lip. ]

Have you gotten help from anyone here? Or asked for it?

[welcome]

Help? Whatever for? I'm perfectly fine.
