- We ARE the future, Pink Boy. And we frown upon radicalism. We have
- nice haircuts. We drive CLEAN cars. Cherry. We vote for anybody
- who promises to cut the Spleen Tax. We would come up with New Ways of
- Thinking- we could- but the Old Ways were good enough for our daddies,
- and they're good enough for us. We dress to the nines, spend wisely,
- and brush our teeth after snacking. And we eat poor, deluded fools
- like you for High Tea.
