About that "War, Class Issues" Thing

Mark: [very seriously] *sigh* I'm sorry, Eliza. Your people are dead. They were too close to the nuke. Your people fled to the wrong country. They fled to the country where the nuke exploded. Now all your villagers are dead and you're left only with your warriors, who don't know how to grow food.

Eliza: Oh! Please help me! My country is destroyed and I'm homeless!

Mark: You're not homeless. You have your castle. You just have no people anymore to produce food and goods and support your country's economy. You'll have to grow your own food now and weave your own cloth.

Eliza: But I don't know how to weave!

Mark: I'm sorry. You'll have to learn.


... Mark is ten. TEN. See why I've forbidden TV news in our home?
