[Ari isn't smiling now though. She gives him a dark look.]
And now you talk about quarantine - you know that's only temporary for individuals, yes - and refusing people treatment? Why? If your vaccine works, the people who have taken it are in no danger at all from the others. You make it sound as if you don't trust its efficacy.
But here we have the heart of it. People are animals. Worse than animals. What do they need? Other people, better people, who have transcended their filthy animal nature by joining the government and holding all its approved opinions. They are needed to control and corral the masses and force them to do what's best for themselves, because they sure won't do it otherwise. Let their rulers decide for them.
[She stops walking, turns to look at him.] I like debate, but I don't hold with dehumanizing people to argue in favor of oppressing them. It makes me very concerned about your values.
[And she doesn't need her reading material censored either, thank you Arthur!]
