The revelation that the Government has been gassing jews was met by a collective shrug. (Man: I suspected that all along. Didn't some leftie blogs say that years ago? People are resigned. (Woman: There's nothing we can do. Just don't be Jewish and you'll be ok.) Most are unconcerned. (Woman 2: Personally, it doesn't affect me. It's not like they're gassing me.) Partly this is because TV shows and movies have desensitized people. (Man: In an age of "Schindler's list" and "Sophie's choice," in a culture of drones and video games, this is no surprise.) Also, the gassing program has bipartisan support in Washington. It began under Bush and expanded under Obama. So let's not start a bickery fight!) And of course, the need to feel safe Trumps quaint rights like not being gassed. (Woman: It's a trade-off. Some jews whose relatives got gassed could become bitter terrorists!)
