		<description><![CDATA[No, the four different bread products aligned so neatly on the plate is no mistake.

That is all a stomach can handle.
Our train car was in the charge of a man who had apparently had his cheeks shined along with his shoes in the last station.

A statement released along with the contract highlights the growing danger of consumer decline: &#8220;While maintaining a certain amount of poverty is essential to the d&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[<b>Attention:</b>
What to do if you come across a poster such as this one: smash, destroy, beat, bash, mutilate, hammer, ram, stomp, pound, or otherwise hit until you are certain that all dissenting messages have been fully eradicated!  It is your duty as a citizen to protect the sanctity of street-side advertising panels &#8211; never shall they be utilized as vessels of such preposterous attempts at social commentary by the ludicrous Dreamers.
<b>Let it be known:</b>
This government realizes that lying is unjust and unproductive.  It states without hesitation the following basic tenet of thought control: your children are information receptacles and must be programmed properly in order to be saved from a life of wanderi&#8230;

Criminals.
Look at them &#8211; the one, his hands tickle the fibers of the sign (<em>careful, train</em>, it says) with boyish impatience as he feels the rhythm of the approaching locomotive vibrate up into his body, knocking loose every carefully-placed obstruction to his imagination; and the other, much older, too weak perhaps to await with such unbridled physical joy, sees this com&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[General: &#8220;That&#8217;s bullshit.  You know it as well as I do that there is no nonpartisan side in this war.  You&#8217;re either with us or against us.  This smarmy news outlet isn&#8217;t fooling anyone with your &#8216;Interviews for Everyone&#8217;. You think our people don&#8217;t notice those goofy grins or sarcastic comments cleverly inserted through your interview questions?  Do you realize that sarcasm is against the law?  If it wasn&#8217;t for that ridiculous Bill of Rights I&#8217;d have my people arrest you right now while I&#8217;ve got you in front of me but no, instead I have to wait until we have explicit proof.&#8221;
TRW: &#8220;Are you serious?&#8221;
General: &#8220;What! Of all t&#8230;
