Excerpt from a comic book

“I’m a hero, a shining example of the right way to live in the free world. I’m supposed to slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and put an end to world hunger.
“I’m supposed to control the influx of illegal immigrants and encourage a return to traditional moral values while discreetly ignoring those values in my personal life.
“I’m supposed to be eating roast duck in orange pine glaze at a quiet table with some impossibly attractive and dimwitted sex machine whose name I can’t remember.
“(…)I’m the Ray. I’m resourceful. I’m highly motivated and skilled. Society cannot afford to lose me. I’m an asset.”
