:18:02
- Hi, how you doing? - All right.
:18:04
- How's it going? - Fine.
:18:05
- Matter of fact, where are you going? - Going home.
:18:07
Oh, you live here. Okay, sure. Well.
:18:10
Just a little security check. There've been some people missing.
:18:12
Nothing to worry about, pal. Okay, you gotta go.
:18:15
I mean, you're in a hurry. That makes perfect sense.
:18:17
Things are speeding up here at the end.
:18:21
Gotcha.
:18:24
What a day, what a day.
:18:29
The thing is, the media's trying to hold up this whole one-party,
:18:31
two-faction system...
:18:32
by telling you that George Bush got this mandate with 54% of the vote.
:18:37
And thatjust doesn't take into account the whole population of the country.
:18:40
They say that 50.3%, in the media...
:18:42
they say 50.3% of the eligible population participated in the '88
:18:46
election.
:18:47
But I think the figure's a hell of a lot lower than that. You gotta consider.
:18:50
Prisoners. We got more people incarcerated in this country...
:18:52
than any other country in Western history.
:18:54
Noncitizens, the underage, the overage, people too old to get to the polls.
:18:59
People out in rural areas. People who don't have addresses.
:19:01
I mean, to be conservative, the figure's more like 35%.
:19:05
So Bush got 54% of 35%. What's that, 18%?
:19:09
Maybe 18% of the people in this country support him.
:19:12
That's nothing. That's nothing. That's not a mandate.
:19:15
- The people in Nazi Germany had- - You guys done male bonding yet?
:19:18
Nazi Germany in 1932, the Nazis had maybe 34-38%.
:19:22
And somebody like Pinochet who's already out of there back in Chile...
:19:26
that guy's got maybe 34-43% of the vote.
:19:28
So 18% is nothing.
:19:31
Itjust seems like one day it's gonna dawn on everybody...
:19:34
that this large nonvoting majority has been winning every election...
:19:37
for the past three decades.
:19:39
And the people who win these elections are gonna be too ashamed...
:19:42
or better yet, too afraid to even take power at all.
:19:47
Oh, hey. Ow, man.
:19:49
- Uh, Paul's moved, man. - Where did he go?
:19:52
I don't know. It's like he split, man.
:19:55
He's like - He disappeared. Nobody knows where he is.
:19:58
But, uh, his room is, like, totally empty.
