Speak only when you're spoken to. And if you get smart with me, the hooded guy with the axe is waiting to show you our true appreciation of your witticism. America was supposed to be different. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. In other words, for the first time in history, the kings were the ones who were supposed to bend the knee and speak only when they were spoken to.
Power is defined by whose smart mouth gets punished.
This beautifully funny scene shows a bunch of lazy high-school brats suddenly being motivated to give the right answer. I'll take the Fifth Amendment on that question. The same rule applies in reverse if America is really supposed to be different from the rest of the world regarding who has power. You can't have it both ways. This is a power struggle.
