Ideal citizens have no particular views –
they consume passively
& do what they're supposed to do.

Ideal citizens are predictably quaint –
never quipping about anything
they ignore all obvious mistakes.

Ideal citizens are like zippers on set tracks –
they slide as their masters wish
avoiding inconvenient snags with knack.

Anya:	An ideal citizen would be a robot.
Brice:	Agree. Humans are too foolish and difficult to train.
Devani:	At some point in time, humans might become robots.
Carlos:	(pausing) Perhaps. However, I doubt that we will be around to hear them.
