Overheard at Starbucks
"A friend of yours? What was he on about?"
-"He says, 'they' force him to choose. They use pesticide poppers on him and his family to speed up 'the choosing', to make it significant. And while he's never chosen correctly and hasn't a clue what might change if he did...the people with the poppers never stop...he's absolutely certain there are many people who've never made the wrong choice, who always choose right."
"The people with the poppers?"
-"No. The people who supply and 'hire' the people with the poppers."
