"Most likely," Peter answers to the question. He puts a cigarette into his mouth, offering the pack to Zero. "What would you have done?"

I take a cigarette from the pack and light it. "Yes, why waste resources on someone who can't work 80 hours a week or be conscripted?"

"Because people can't help what class they are born into," he said, feeling something he hadn't felt in a long time. Normally he found that personal dislike of another being was counter revolutionary--assassinations should be strictly for the benefit of the proletariat and not for personal satisfaction, as should other forms of punishment. However, the sheer flat tone of this woman's response made that feeling of strong dislike well up within him. He did not show it, however.
"We are all created equal, at least that's what the USA's founding fathers said. I don't see how we can all be equal if only a select few can get an education and healthcare. People cant help it if their parents are poor, and because our government does nothing to help these poor souls they remain in the lower class, only to have children who will suffer the same fate. Is that right?!"

"Yes." I answer immediately.

"Then they shouldn't have children. If the poor can't suppose children then they shouldn't reproduce. Not that complex really. The poor do have suppost. There is welfare, and programs. The problem is numbers, there's too many. If they didn't make more of themselves, then less problem."
Peter lights his cigarette and blows out a smoke ring. "And the founding fathers said no such thing."

"How sweet." I said. "I think I have the issue here somewhere." I said looking around. "here it is!" I said looking at the cover.
"Wow, you look dramatic." I said with a chuckle. "I try to imitate the pose that she did on the cover. "Your job seems so easy."

"Actually they did, but the truth is that only a select few people actually achieve. You are only worth your salary, and if you can't advance that salary than that's your own problem."

Alejos frowns at Peter's "they said no such thing."
"Allow me to quote from the Decleration of Independence.
"'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'
"To have life, one must have proper healthcare. To have liberty one must first be liberated from the opression of the system. To be able to pursue happiness, one must find a way to break out of his class. Unfortunately the current state of society doesn't allow for any of these things in the majority of mankind."

"Rights are earned, not granted. You do what you're expected to do, you prosper. You don't, you die. It's always been that way, and it will always be that way."

"That would be the founding fathers telling the King of England to go screw himself, not offering salvation to the world. They were talking about themselves, not other people. Their actions spoke louder than written words. Besides, Jefferson wrote that, and he was a fool."

Bassarov listens as Alejos explains things.
"To us, human life is something that everyone has an equal right to and which has equal value. We would like to build a better world and explore fully human potential through the abolition of classes."

"But it doesn't HAVE to be that way," Alejos said to Rei. "Don't you think that helping your fellow human beings is a noble cause?"
He said nothing to this other man, as he found him to be a Neo Nazi. That feeling of dislike for Rei instantly dissapeared and was directed at Peter.

"No, doing what your superiors tell you is the only thing that matters in mortal life." I say to him. I turn to face Bassarov. "Sorry, I just don't like arrogent bastards shoving their beliefs down my throat. Your ideas are... different." I was going to say blasphamy, but I changed my mind...

"I apologize if I came of as 'shoving my beliefs down your throat.' That was not my intention," he said in an apolagetic tone. "Sorry."

"You know what," Peter stands, rubbing out his cigarette on the table, "I think I've lost my appettite. Have a nice day. Good luck with the rebellion, or whatever your plan is." He looks at Zero. "Want to get out of here?"
