It always begins as a joke. Listen to me, both of you.

One sees a father or a mother of whom they do not approve --

And their brats won't shut up and the parents are so exhausted that they just let their children scream, all sticky and crying and hitting and wild.

And you say to your friends, "You should have to pass a test to breed." Do you understand? "You should have to get licensed to have kids."

It starts as a joke.

@sindarina When he says, "there is terrible power in a joke, in a story..." the power he is refering to is called the Power of Narrative. Humans are story telling creatures, and that's why stories and jokes have that power. Everyone on the side of progress should learn about to harness that power for good instead of evil.
