System

"It's the system," Roger said, "the system's against people like you and me."
We were in the pub. Roger was feeling depressed after his third business and fourth marriage had failed.
"What system?" I asked.
"The government, the economy, the socio-political infrastructure... it's all against us," he said.
"I don't understand," I said.
"Exactly, that's exactly what they want."
"Who?"
"Them."
"Who's them?"
"Them you shitwit. God you don't half ask some stupid questions."
He wasn't making any sense.
"I still don't know who you mean," I said.
"Non-smokers," he said.
