It's only going to take another week of this and we're going to have the mother of all humanitarian crises on our hands. The Independencies are already living on food stocks that aren't going to last long. The algaepaddies can't survive prolonged cooling, which is going to eliminate ten percent of GE's bioil supply. Most of Highcastle is already camped out by the gateway demanding to return. And nobody is making any decisions, certainly not..

Vance closed the link and stamped off to biolab-1, too furious to say anything more. He didn't even ask the Lord for wisdom and guidance, which was remiss of him, but the Lord would understand the frailty of human reaction in the face of such outrageous provocation.

And it is a terrible irony that our very liberalism allows such danger to flourish. There has to be a time when we say: No more. And thanks to Connexion, that time has now come. As Edmund Burke said--' 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,' Yuri quoted.

This act is a direct result of the oppression, both political and economic, imposed by our government. You crush hope. You destroy opportunity. You eradicate dignity. You do all that so you maintain your filthy bigoted anti-democratic society. You leave the rest of us no choice. We are not allowed to protest. Any complaint sees you marked down for life as a troublemaker.........It's wealth. the method by which it maintains control? I tell y..

People will look at you, what you're doing, rewriting the regiment rule book, and they'll want to do the same for themselves. That's when you'll start to run into resistance. That's where the politics begins. And that's the dirtiest fight there is.

Fanatics,' Kandara replied automatically. 'I'm no longer surprised by what they do, by the misery and suffering they inflict on others. Ideology is a sick soul-meme; it gnaws basic decency away until you can self-justify the most extreme acts as worthwhile to further the cause. Any cause.

The point is, the Grand Families see how much support you have, and they know you want to instigate change. Change for them, a return to more democratic rule, the introduction of accountability, will diminish their power, and Lady help them, their wealth, too. That's what the city's entire political structure is geared around: preserving and expanding their estates. If you wipe out the gangs, you'll go after them next, and the way they've d..

All it's done is create a separate culture--which, incidentally, never stops whining on about its superiority. That always ends well." "Then it is not unusual for such a culture to be subject to attack from ideological rivals."
