CHAPTER 15 [TIM]

PERSONAL NEEDS CHAMBER

When Mrs. Vanderhof drove Linnsy and me to school on Thursday morning, things were even worse than they had been the first day. A huge crowd of people lined the street, almost all of them carrying anti-alien signs. I recognized several parents among the crowd—and even a handful of kids.

The protesters had put up a podium, where Senator Hargis was making a raving, totally nasty speech. He was giving the crowd a good dose of Vitamin Hate, and they were eating it up.

Since it took even longer to get through the police barricade than it had the first day, we got to hear some of Hargis’s pep rally of hate.

“These aliens are anti-American!” he was bellowing when we first pulled up. “Who do they think they are, coming here with their strange ideas, their interplanetary germs, their pulsating head knobs? We have to root them out, send them back to where they came from! They’re a danger, a menace! They’re monsters, I tell you. Monsters! Why, poor Jordan here was almost killed by one of them yesterday.”
