For proof obsairve the buddy when Disease is fresh!
Perhaps nothing the dockers could do in the way of being violent could be more stupid and wicked than having all these sleek, beautiful, perfect people, twenty-six million of them, all expecting them not to be violent.
I became a human being all in a minute when I thought of it. I became suddenly full of courage for the hateful dockers.
