"Standing off and saying you don't like the way things are run is kid stuff--any kid can work out a program of more ice cream and less school and free movies and him telling people what to do instead of people always telling him--"
"I don't want any more ice cream, thanks."
"Maybe you don't; but what you're saying is the same damn thing. If things were run according to your ideas instead of the way they are run, it would be much better. Who says so? Why you say so! That's what the dopes, the Communists and so on, all the boys who never grew up, say. Who's going to be better for it? Their fellow-men? Horse feathers!"
