In the Year 2525

      "You wanna watch a movie?" Tina asks.
      "I think we've seen everything." Muzzy answers.

      Tina continues knitting.
      Muzzy reads Aesop's Fables: THE HORSE AND THE ASS.
      There is a knock on the heavy wooden door.
      Tina picks up her bow and arrows and goes to a gun port.
      Muzzy holds his tommy hawk and pears through the peephole.

      It's a postman.
      "I have some registered mail. I need you to sign for."
      Muzzy is suspicious.
      "Push it through the mail slot and I'll sign it."
      Muzzy signs and receives his mail in ballot.

      Tina is excited she likes elections.
      "Where is my ballot?"
      Muzzy shrugs.
      "It must have gotten lost in the mail.
      You can vote on my ballot."

        Tina is in a sullen state about this.
        "Now then, Mr. Chuang Lupin is running for President
        of the Continental States.
        "Mr. Chun Ping Lau is also running for President."
        "They never send me a ballot." Tina pouts.

        "Look! There's a Yankee running too.
        Glen Beck as a write in. Sounds like a kook.
        He wants independence from China."
        Muzzy laughs.
        "Don't check his box. Will be arrested."
        Tina whispered fearfully.

        "Do you think I'm nuts?
        I like Chun Ping Lau. He wants to allow for
        2 children per family. And one of them can be
        a girl." Muzzy passes the ballot to Tina.
        Tina looks at it, "You know I can't read."

        Muzzy chuckles and gets his number 2 pencil.
