He is encouraged in this by a coworker at the firehouse, Michael (Ken Bevel), who tells him, "Don't follow your heart, man, because your heart can deceive you. Lead your heart." Caleb's father...

We suddenly gain the authority to tell them how they ought to live and even attempt to sterilize them, as if a human’s worth to a society were solely in her economic productivity. We develop myths about welfare queens, making public assistance recipients into ingrates who ought to be thankful for the little they receive from our hard-earned, taxpayer dollars...
