:03:00
Let's sum up.
:03:02
This year we explored
the failure of democracy...
:03:05
- Bad boy.
- how the social scientists
brought our world...
:03:07
to the brink of chaos.
:03:09
We talked about the veterans,
how they took control...
:03:11
and imposed the stability
that has lasted for generations since.
:03:16
You know these facts...
:03:17
but have I taught you anything
of value this year?
:03:20
Hmm?
:03:21
You. Why are only citizens
allowed to vote?
:03:23
It's a reward,
:03:25
what the Federation gives you
for doing Federal Service.
:03:28
No. No.
:03:30
Something given
has no value.
:03:33
Look, when you vote, you are
exercising political authority.
:03:36
You're using force. And force,
my friends, is violence,
:03:40
the supreme authority from which
all other authority is derived.
:03:44
Uh, my mother always said
violence never solves anything.
:03:47
Really?
:03:49
I wonder what the city fathers
of Hiroshima would say about that.
:03:52
You.
:03:54
They probably wouldn't say anything.
Hiroshima was destroyed.
:03:58
Correct.
:03:59
Naked force has resolved
more issues...
:04:01
throughout history
than any other factor.
:04:04
The contrary opinion, that
violence never solves anything,
:04:07
is wishful thinking
at its worst.
:04:09
People who forget that
always pay.
:04:12
Rico, what's the moral
difference, if any...
:04:16
between a civilian
and a citizen?
:04:18
A citizen accepts personal
responsibility for the safety...
:04:21
of the body politic,
defending it with his life.
:04:24
- A civilian does not.
- The exact words of the text.
:04:28
But do you understand it?
Do you believe it?
:04:32
- I don't know.
- Of course you don't.
:04:35
I doubt anyone here would
recognize civic virtue...
:04:37
if it reached up
and bit you in the ass.
:04:56
Not here.
:04:58
Come on, let's see if they
posted the math final.
