Chapter 77: Interview Program

"Miss Carl Lace, about your campaign program..."

"It is a reform of the healthcare system, increasing employment rates, and seeking legitimate rights for the mutant population."

Courteous female voice.

"May I ask, Miss Carl Lace, some people say that the gap in abilities between mutants and ordinary humans makes it impossible for these two ethnic groups to coexist peacefully. One party must destroy or enslave the other party to end the current situation. What do you think about this?"

She combed the radiance on her forehead and replied calmly:

"In the world, absolute fairness does not exist. The world's richest man, oil king... Is there a gap between the innate conditions between children born in these families and a child born in Brooklyn? The answer is inevitable. This gap is often a hundred times greater than the "gap between mutants and humans". But do we have the right to curb the rich and rich? Do we tie them to a stake and burn them to death? Have we forcibly deprived them of their property? Have we held a parade to let every person who earns more than $200,000 a year out of the United States? We don't. Because the laws of our country restrict them in various aspects, and their property is all legal. Of course, without showing that expression, we all know that some of the wealthy people are likely to have unknown sources of property... But we discriminate against mutants more than discriminate against the rich. I know a child, just because she can freely change the color of her hair,

A small preferential treatment that would not require dyeing her hair in her life made her discriminate in school, so that she tried to cut her wrist and commit suicide last weekend - she was innocent, kind, a little introverted, and loved reading, and she was only eleven years old. Now in our country, the proportion of mutants is gradually rising, and it is very likely that your neighbor, a young man with a talent in football, is a mutant, who is a living human being like us, and an American citizen who loves the country,

Always be ready to sacrifice my life for democracy and freedom. I stand here to speak out for these people. In the United States, according to incomplete statistics, the number of mutants is about 10 million, which is equivalent to one in every thirty people being mutants, and this number is rising year by year. Mutants are already a problem that cannot be ignored, and my mission is to become a bridge, a bridge connecting mutants and natural people."

"Miss Carl Lace, in an interview yesterday, the Republican Party... uh, someone questioned your identity and age. Thinking you are not qualified to participate in the presidential election..."

"Nonsense. I know that my appearance may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. I want to reiterate that I am over forty years old, and I was born in the United States and lived for more than thirty years... And this may be a striking appearance, but it is just the consequence of my natural variant gene, which is difficult to age and always maintain the current appearance... This is an advantage in one aspect, but also a defect in the other. Can you believe that I will be asked to show my ID card when I enter the bar now? I said I am already an adult, and then they always ask me if I stolen ID card from my parents... Of course, I just make an example, I almost never go to the bar, and everyone please don't treat me as an alcoholic president who will knock on the door drunk at two o'clock in the middle of the night."

A gentle laughter.

"Miss Carl Lace, according to our verification, you have not been married yet? Do you have a boyfriend? In fact, many viewers are very interested in this. If this does not involve your privacy, can you answer this question for us?"

"Hahaha... Uh, for all the obvious reasons you can guess, I... have a hard time finding a boyfriend, and it's not a bad thing, so I can concentrate on my work. Well, I've talked about a boyfriend before, and when I was very young, I woke up my abilities and scared him away. It's a very unfortunate story, since then I've started thinking about why people treat mutants so... differently. There is no doubt that in my life, I've met many people who don't discriminate against us, to us

Very normal people, may God bless these kind people. However, the inevitable problem, almost every mutant has been treated differently, we have been discriminated against and feared... This problem does not need to be ignored. This is the fact that happens in every part of the country, just under everyone's nose, and we cannot turn a blind eye. When facing a problem, escaping is not the right choice. What should be done is to face the problem head-on and then solve it. I came for this."

"So, there are a lot of viewers who are curious, Miss Carl Lace, your mutant ability is…?"

"About my abilities, I know you have done a detailed investigation. Yes, in addition to my basic age-reducing aging, my abilities have a relatively...sparse trait. I can communicate with anything. Here, I respectfully express my personal opinion. I think this is a necessary trait for becoming a president. The president does not have to be the smartest person in the whole country, nor does he have to be the strongest person in the country, nor will he be the most charming person in the country. Of course, necessary charisma is also an indispensable trait. But I think that an excellent American president must be a person who can listen to others' voices. He has the obligation and responsibility to listen to the voices of every citizen and solve the difficulties he encounters."

"Miss Carl Lace, can you please show us your personal ability?"

"Oh? This is very simple. For example... your glasses are asking me for help. A crack is occurring inside the left bracket. If you throw it hard for a few more times, it is likely that it will retire early and can no longer serve you."

"Oh?! It's so amazing. Miss Carl Lace, your ability is also widely used."

"Sometimes, ability is also a burden. I would like to quote a famous saying by the masked hero of the Avengers, who is known as Spider-Man, who is a very popular superhero, the greater the responsibility. I think everyone here has never experienced it. Even when you sleep, your pillow will complain about your tenderness and feel it. In fact, this also reminds you that the abilities obtained by mutants often cannot bring convenience to them, and may even bring great trouble to their lives. Some mutants are deeply distressed because of their uncontrollable abilities, and some people will uncontrollably absorb the physical strength of people approaching, which makes them afraid to interact with others, causing them to suffer a huge psychological burden. Among the mutants, a group of people who are afraid and misinterpreted by others, there are also many... distresses that only they themselves can understand."

"When talking about the uncontrollable power of mutants, there were outside the field spectators calling. The audience said: There are some dangerous mutants, who have terrible powers, and even one person can destroy a city. In this case, we have to choose to destroy all mutants."

"I think this audience may have fallen into some misunderstanding. We know that there are many evil forces in this world, and there are many forces with powerful force, and they are a major security threat to our country. For example, Latvia in Europe... Well, I don't think I need to mention the gentleman's name specifically. Tip: Iron masks and cloaks, leaders of a certain country. We can treat those powerful mutants as strategic weapons, and we restrain each other. Evil mutants are like weapons of evil forces. They are dangerous and must be eliminated with all their might. However, because of the danger of this weapon, we have to weaken our own strength, not use this powerful force, but discriminate against them? I think every rational American citizen does not

We should be friends with them, love them, love them, because they have the power to protect us and maintain the dignity of our country. Faced with such a powerful force, we should not be afraid of them, but try to control them. Just like scientific advances, every technological revolution has caused panic, but now these forces are benefiting our lives. To put it early, the development of the atomic bomb helped us win World War II; to put it nearby, Stark Industry's Ark Reactor is solving the energy problem that has plagued our country for decades - if we reject the opportunity to enter a new era, we ignore this hand of friendship that has extended... Our civilization may still be in the Stone Age."

"Miss Carl Lace, what you mean, you want to express that the gradual emergence of mutants is something... the necessity of the times?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. I think every audience should understand this: the emergence of mutants is inevitable and irreversible. We cannot eliminate them with violence. Mutant genes may exist in each of us. All we have to do is be prepared to welcome the arrival of this new era. This new generation shining because of mutants and superheroes, a new generation with rapid technological and productivity-human beings, this race that is gradually evolving to a new stage, our golden age."

"Golden Age? It's really encouraging, Miss Carl Lace. Ah, the question for the audience outside the venue: Do you believe in the existence of God?"

The woman seemed to be asked by this question. On the show, she was rarely silent for ten seconds.

“Yes. I believe in God.”

"I noticed that your wording does not seem to refer to the Christian God, but... a god in a philosophical sense? If I did not understand it wrong."

"Is there any difference? Is there a difference between the gods in the philosophical sense and the God in the theological sense? Or, God is a silhouette of the omnipotent and omniscient God I believe in. From your perspective, then He is God, and from my perspective, He is... God. So, yes, you can treat me as a believer. God bless the United States, and God blesses the people of the United States."
