See Richard. See Jane. They go to school. Their friends all believe
the same things, just as their parents do. Their friends are all
the same color. Parents are happy with their school. Parents are
happy with the government.
Watch the history lesson on TV. See the madmen. They blow up government buildings in Oklahoma. See the governor in Minnesota. He blows up government schools. Separatists were happy when he did that. "Now we will have money to make a bigger school," some said. "Now we will have money to start a school," others said. "Now we will have money and call ourselves a school," the neo-Nazis said.
Look closely at the TV. See O.J. ("I like letters," Richard says. "I like the letter 'I'.") Some say O.J. is bad. See the policeman. Everyone knows he is bad. Everything is either black or white. They cannot both be bad.
See the new book. It is round, flat, and shiny. It was once called CD-ROM. ("I like letters," Richard says.) The new book is fun. It has pictures that move. It has music, too. It is easy for students to use. All students like books now. Parents like schools with the new books.
Grandparents like the new books too. They are not asked to
read to Jane and Richard. They can spend more time at the casinoes.
Books are so easy to use that no one has to think very hard.
See the American flag. The stars do not touch each other because
of their sharp points. It is a good flag.
See the map of America. There are many lines on the map. There are many colors on the map. The colors stay within the lines. It is a good map.
"Look," said Jane. "I found an older map. It doesn't say 'America,' it says 'U.S.A.'"
"I like letters," Richard said.
"Did the letter 'U' stand for something?"
"I don't like the letter 'U.' I like the letter 'I.'"
"Me too."
