“We don’t like the news,” one child whispered. “Tough crap, we are going to listen to the news whether you like it or not. Let’s take a vote. Who does not want to listen to the news?” Every hand in the room shot up. “I am going to break every arm that is raised in the air after we take the next vote. Who does not want to listen to the news?” No one raised a single hand. “Ah, excellent. Then it is unanimous, and I must say it is extremely gratifying that my students are sharing such a great concern for the rest of mankind.”
