Wipe the smirk off your face. This is not a paid announcement for Gore 2000. Of course, things are far from perfect--life at the bottom of the ladder remains a desperate struggle for millions of Americans, and scrambling up the rungs can seem well-nigh impossible.

These lead to striking shots of a desert near a military base and several confused urban crowd scenes. In the beginning of other sequences, the screen bursts into white, as July 4th draws nigh.
