"Well, why don't you have enough of those things? - cars in particular not everyone needs to have one of."

" - well, I have seen people say that some of it's because of greedy landlords, and greedy bankers, but they do always add there were lots of other contributing factors."

We have holidays on the anniversaries of important events, like the Revolution or the Glorious Leader's birthday... I used to sing but can't any more, it's a medical side effect, there are also movies and books and plenty of sports..."
