In films, it's always the weird kid
who becomes the reluctant hero;
who meets the ghost
or the friendly alien
and saves the day.
In real life the outsider
is the one who gets blamed
and picked on by bullies.
It's the bullies who set the standards;
who manipulate the media;
who bully whole minorities.
The person you're voting for
is rarely an example
of an humanitarian.
Remind yourself:
they're in it for the money.
