Before we all start tearing into each other over the Postman's phone call and his accidental reveal: don't. I can't imagine wanting to stay in this hellhole, but I have a better place to return to. Someone pointed out to me that not everyone here does. [See, Scout? She listens!]I have a feeling that we're going to have to stick together through

What a ratlike reaction. Only defenseless herd animals band together when in danger.

it has taken over my life! ;;

[glowing_science]

Shut up, Gilgamesh! I'm not in the mood to deal with you!

[kinpika]

You are a fool for not attempting to listen to your betters.

[glowing_science]

And you're an ass and a blowhard.

All you do is gloat about how awesome you are! Why would I drop everything to listen to that?!

[kinpika]

You think a man who has spent his life fighting against the undefeatable would not have anything intelligent to dispense of in this type of situation?

[glowing_science]

Well, if you do, out with it. So far, all you've done is compare me to a rat.

[kinpika]

Hmph. I will tell you that "sticking together" causes problems.

[glowing_science]

Like what?

[kinpika]

Say the fools decide to cut off your food supply. Who do you think will die first? The individual or the group?

[glowing_science]

The group wouldn't drop dead all at once, so the individual. Scientifically speaking, you'd have to account for different levels of health, metabolic processes, age, gender....

[Point: missed.]

[kinpika]

You have been living in self-indulgence and opulence your entire life. Your pitiful science means nothing. When the food runs out, the first to go is the group. Your friends will be killing each other long before they die of starvation.

[glowing_science]

Science isn't pitiful! It's how the world works!

And you can't guarantee that!

[kinpika]

I can! I have guided my people through seven years of famine and destruction. My experience far outweighs yours.

[glowing_science]

Except they haven't cut off our food supply! They're turning us against each other!

We can't just give in to what they want.

[kinpika]

Hahahaha! Turning whom against whom? As far as I am concerned, I am the "enemy". If someone wishes to destroy me, allow them to come.

[glowing_science]

Were you even paying attention to the Postman's phone call? He pretty much outright accused people who voted to stay or didn't vote of ruining things for those of us who do want out!
