If you accept the killing, you are really dead.
If Muriel, Jonathan, and all the others of your generation did count for nothing, so...
... why do you believe YOU should matter today?
If you are alive today, you were luckier than Muriel or Jonathan... But since 1967 and 1975 the law permits that this luck be not given. And thus, according to a law, it was not given to Jonathan, to Muriel...
Now, for the decidors of this delirium, your generation is NOTHING.
As for Muriel and Jonathan in 1978, in 1981, they wrongfully decide on your destiny in your place: «You don't have a job? - Take the welfare money and shut-up!» «Have you a child in the womb? - Get rid of it, we wont help you!» «You feel down? - Take some shit or coke, that will be finer!» «You are cracking, your future is collapsing? - Try suicide!» (40 000 suicides attempts per year at an age less than 25)
HOWEVER, it sometimes happens to you to fight against laws endangering your future (ex: against slave-jobs, the fake training courses...)
