People are missing the point though... what do we need a government for?
Sorry to move this topic away from the spam again, but I have a few questions regarding this.

Number one, who is saying that, besides you? Perhaps we aught to take a poll on whether or not we should have a government at all? Or, perhaps that would be too democratic?

Number two, if you don't believe we should have government, why do we have one now? Why not scrap the Equinox Code and the elected positions? What we have right now is a government, there's no other way to describe it. It's a government, that's what it is.

I don't think you're really arguing against having a government. Because, we need a government for things like recruiting for instance, that is why you set up the elected Executive positions. What you are really arguing for is to have a government, but to have it completely run by you as a dictatorship.

I guess what I'm saying is, I like to call a spade a spade. If you want to be a dictator because you think it would be the best thing for the region, I would personally prefer if you said that, and let the people decide how they feel about that, rather than trying to make an argument that you "don't want a government at all". It's easy to pick that argument apart because that's obviously not what you really want.

That's my two cents on that. Otherwise, you already know how I feel about this whole thing, so I won't repeat myself here again.

Fastest way to lose respect: tell people what their doing is basically bullshit and you're interrupting it with something useful :p

Number one, I am saying that. Argument over.

Number two, thanks point dexter. I'm talking about politics. I want to erase politics from Equinox and make positions elected only to run certain functions -- I don't think a region needs a central government, because, well, there's nothing to govern over.

Your last sentence has been QFT'ed.

Now then, back on topic...

Thank you KW for re-instituting profanity. Fuckity fuck shit fuck penis BOOM.
