Clearly, then, my esteemed opponent favors the surrender of Resident freedoms in return for an ill-defined promise of “safety.” May I remind her–and the voters–of the words of the great Benjamin Franklin: “They that can choose to give up essential liberty in the name of a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Our administration will ensure Resident safety by moving swiftly to combat, capture, and punish griefers, including, as applicable, the breakup of known “griefing rings” and the exile of their leaders. And the results of our investigations shall be made public in their entirety, which will help restore confidence in the justice system. I note that Ms. Wei’s “platform,” such as it is, is curiously silent on that point.

We are confident that our well-rounded platform, based as it is on the grand tradition of classical liberal values (which, ironically enough, makes it “conservative” in nature in this day and age), combined with my proven track record of expertise in the field, will be more than a match for any one-dimensional, single-issue candidates in the field.

Erbo, thanks for the rundown, but are your negative smears really called for? Clearly, you are the one using scare tactics–attempting to scare the voters away from the only candidate concerned for their safety: Romana Wei. There is no freedom without safety. Ms. Wei is for freedom, not restricting it. Your laissez-faire brand of politics is not freedom, it is lieBeral politicking meant to disguise the agenda of the special interest groups who fund you. I beg of you, Mr. Evans, stop the mudslinging.

Thank you Erbo for keeping your buttocks covered during the silk events. Now if you can get Dani’s butt uncovered I would appreciate it and give you my full support

I would imagine Mr. Talamasca has no position on buttocks appearance either, given he has none to display.

Your kind words are much appreciated, Ms. Connolly! To answer your point, the Evans campaign takes no official position on buttocks appearance; I try to keep my own buttocks covered as much as possible, except when unavoidable (such as during the “silks” events Danielle schedules at the Gin Rummy every month).

My dear Mr. Evans,

I can admire anyone who can reference ST: TOS episodes into their arguements. Sadly, I do not see anything that remotely addresses your stance on buttocks appearance.

Kind Regards,
Zoe Connolly

Geeh. I’d think a software engineer should know the difference between ‘equal’ and ‘alike’. Anyway, equal in avie rights is what I mean and what you willingly misunderstood. If I was against diversity I would not be running both in neko-meta-me and human-meta-me, then would I?

But if you’re as good as you say you are and you beg a bit, I indeed might consider making you a Linden and tell you to fix the grid as starting from Juli 2nd 2007.
