The middle-aged man and lanky teenager sat on a park bench a couple of blocks from a high school. "You mean we'll all be able to go to college for free . . . who's gonna pay for it?"
"If he's elected by you young people his government will make the rich pay for it. They've got all of our money and just sitting on it."
"I wanna go to college, but I don't believe that some people who don't even know me are gonna pay for me to go," the teenager said, and thought, This dude must be half crazy.
"All you have to do is work with other kids who're campaigning for him in all the colleges and neighborhoods throughout the country. This can't fail," he said, thinking, They're pampered and brainwashed to try any slick game for something free.
"What if I can't find a job, where am I gonna get money for housing, food, and clothing? I can't be just sitting in college and don't have no social life. Where will I get bucks for my good time?"
"His educational program will be funded by the government to take care of all that. Listen, the government's got plenty of money, that's why people run games on it. For example, like clockwork your people riot and loot and demand millions of dollars and new programs to rebuild neighborhoods that hoodlums have destroyed in the rioting."
"That game's been going on for a hundred years."
"You young people don't have the experience of working and travel and have no knowledge to recognize the games that are run on your people by your own leaders."
"If we had some truly educated and sincere leaders they'd have created a productive culture unique to our people, as other people have, rather than keep us stagnating in a so-called culture centered around nothing but constantly changing our hair styles. Now they got people hustling us by selling us ropes to attach to our hair and calling it black culture. But as far as somebody talking about making rich people and the government provide free college for everybody, that sounds like somebody running a game on dummies to me."
