Right, right, that's the part I get. Not into it, but the powerful think they're better and ought to be in charge of everybody else, y'know? The guys under the dome, they live in an entirely different world. They don't even seem to want to be in charge of the people out here, just get rid of them. Last guy I met who had that plan... Well, doesn't exist anymore, but he messed with me. Anyway.
