Quote from Dewey in Hal Sleepwalks
Dewey: I hate politics! The voters don't read. They don't think for themselves. They're completely swayed by the last thing they heard, whether it's true or not. [Dewey folds up a campaign poster he's produced titled "The Real Kyle Rogers" supposedly showing Kyle hitting a kitten with a baseball bat] Dewey: Democracy is a failure, because let's face it, people are idiots. Reese: I think you'd feel better about the world, Dewey, if you had a programmable zombie robot.
