Dat Ubuntu Nothing Drag by WilliamJJackson
Young Challie doesn't understand. America doesn't have guns. America doesn't have violence. At least, not since the Sixties. If you so much as throw a punch, no one sees you ever again. This is a world without human violence, what that means to those who survive a world without war, conflict, and sense. What you think, happens.
Challie wants to end the madness. America is bleak without force. Imagine it. But he has a calling, one that will find a new message in this near barren, mad, mad, mad United States.
