To the hard-core Soviet mind-set, the American government was an unstable combination of cowboys and gangsters, unpredictable and capable of any insane action. The cosmonauts would have to be armed against outrageous aggression.”

“The Chinese do it with rats,” I said. “They let ‘em eat the victim.”

If it was to provide meals to those who cannot eat
To give free care to all those who are sick
To take the homeless out of the streets quick
If I could be a voice for those who are scared to speak
And to protect and defend all those who are weak.”
