Dark, perhaps, but I used it to have a talk with my daughter about how in some ways our society is much the same.
Our [US] military, being volunteer only, is mostly filled with the children of the poor [the population of the districts], who were unable to afford education any other way or had few other opportunities [the double ration given to those who enter a second time into the reaping lottery, I forget what it was called], while the super rich [the capitol] use them as pawns in their games to enrich themselves, while the rest of us are supposed to cheer them on in some sort of perverse hero worship.
But I digress and I fear that I may be treading into an area disallowed in the forum charter. :-)
