Everyone quieted down and resumed to their original spots before Jinkyll could initiate with the tale of the so-called Miniscular Revolution.
"Once upon a time, the Earth focused on nothing more but perfection; the idea was that everyone, even the animals of the world, had to have no imperfections, no flaws, no weaknesses; nothing could violate the laws of perfection that were established by men and women alike, or they would be considered as outcasts. The people who didn't 'fit' in with the rest or agreed with the philosophies of the world would be treated as freaks, psychopaths, dummies, and so forth. Animals would get shot, mistreated, beaten, or simply ignored if they didn't succumb to these laws as well; life wasn't easy to maintain, let alone prosperity and friends, especially if you were placed in the "under averaged" category."
"Some of the characteristics you must have had if you were living during those times were as simple as good height, good shape in the body, and names. If you were under the height you were supposed to be during each year of your life until high school, you would be considered the "misfit" of the world, the "outlier," which NOBODY wanted to be. Sadly, whoever didn't abide by even one of those requirements were considered imperfect and therefore, utterly useless to the Earth."
"Many of those people would be the most prone to being arrested for committed crimes, such as robbery or murder, and they wouldn't have a right to own a house, run for office, start petitions, open businesses, and nearly anything else everyone has the right to do today. It was a very sad time, especially for the people who either has an illness, a birth defect, a difference in height in contrast to the rest, but who also had great talent and potential to pursue their dreams and make an impact most people aren't capable of making. And it all started with the reign of one president, President Goldsberg, who absolutely DETESTED anyone who went against his principles and rules, and anyone who didn't seem perfect or "good enough." For this reason, he put the people he most detested into hard labor, not caring so much about the health or their economic stability; he wanted gold and richness, and he favored everyone famous and perfect for their ability to gain riches for themselves AND the president himself."
"That's stupid!" Christian exploded with outrage. "I mean, why would anyone do that?!" His incredulous query was immediately backed up with murmurs of agreement.
Jinkyll put a finger to his own lips and hushed them all softly, in attempts for them to all calm down. When the voices of outrage and and contempt died down, he emerged into his tale again.
"It was clear that something HAD to be done; the injustice couldn't continue on for much longer, or it would practically raise an uprising, or a havoc that could end the prosperity of Earth and all its inhabitants. The under averaged unwanted awaited so long for someone to save them; they prayed, they sang songs, they created poems of what they thought would be their happily ever after, but all that ever arrived was years of torture and discrimination on end."
"However, that thankfully didn't last forever, as you could probably tell; although there are some people today who are still stubborn enough to hold on to these laws, these philosophies, there is more room for freedom, prosperity, and triumph for most people in the Earth, is that so?"
When the crew of seven nodded their heads in a agreement, Jinkyll continued.
"But you all would have never gotten to that point if it wasn't for the legendary Miniscular Revolution. T-"
