    One time when I was 10 my teacher rolled in a TV and made us watch some building fall over on the news. I thought it was boring and wanted to go back to learning stuff. But then afterwards all the grown-ups, and I mean like, all the grown-ups got really really angry and weird, like I would say things like that I don’t want to knock over other people’s buildings and they said that meant I was a terrorist.

      But, did they also gather the whole school in the cafeteria to watch, via those same TV carts, the first teacher and mother take off for space — only to have the shuttle explode in real-time? That was an interesting thing to see: hundreds of students looking to their nearest adult and finding emotionally-glitching humans only.
