The Bureau of Statistics and all other reports show that he complied with his duties to the Greater Community.
He had no radical views. The Social Psychology investigators found him to be normal.
The Producers Research and High-Grade Living investigators also showed he was normal and had all the necessary tools of the trade.
Public Opinion researchers found he held the proper opinions for the time of year. He never caused problems in school.

It is absurd to ask whether he was free or happy, for if anything had been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

Strange things happen in this part of the desert; gangs trade drugs for guns, Bohemians burn effigies and people have vanished without a trace. A group of vigilantes, a gang of tweakers and the police, were all running me down and there was no signal on my cell.

I walked along this dirt road, until I saw the flicker of campfire and tried to sneak in for a better look. Suddenly, I heard a dog barking. I tried to go downwind, but I heard a rattlesnake. I couldn't tell where she was and it was letting me know that I'd better not step on her.
I thought I was busted, when I heard arguing break out. Instead, I looked out toward the dirt road and saw headlights, in the distance. I ran and took cover amid some weeds.

The vehicle passed me and stopped before getting to the campfire. I heard the doors slam and yelling started. Two more vehicles headed up the road and somebody ran by me, but I stayed cool.

After about 10 minutes I got up and ducked back into the brush. I saw two SUVs with the decals of the local police. It seemed like they stayed there for an eternity.
When they drove away, I got up to brush myself off and get orientated. They were headed back the way I had come and this road was likely a dead end.




I endorse James Schubert, in the Socialist Freedom Party Primaries.
