Ignorance kills everything and everybody in this book. You can tell this in how everything is run from the government down. They let the people who are stupid drive cars out of control. The most stupid part of this government is they don't like it when people try to educate themselves and try to do something with their life. They burn the things that will keep the people from turning into living moving vegetables.
