They wouldn't keep him in jail. I find myself agreeing with this statement, unfortunately. I do find it a bit suspicious that he killed 3 in self defense, but there is no evidence to support the Federation claims. What evidence are you referring to? It is not disputed whether he did or did not kill those men. He certainly did. Aero Yassavi wrote:I pray that these recent tensions can be settled peacefully, but I fear the Federation is about learn first hand the dangers of their unchecked "freedom." Again, I do not understand what you are talking about. It seems as if you are just regurgitating your sermons. If he truly did act in self defense, then we will deem it so. If he did not, there will be adequate punishment for the murders he committed.
All I believe Brother Yassavi to have meant is that the Gallente have not truly seen the volatility of the Matari people first hand, they are a young race, newly uplifted, and given a foreign social and political structure to supplement their already tribal sense of self.
The dangers of freedom will become apparent, however against I believe that he means not that oppression is superior, but control and moderation, as well as a conservative people ingrained with the tenets of loyalty and respect would not face these issues. |

As I have said before, Freedom is dangerous, but the alternative is far, far worse.

One is a Totalitarian Police State, but that is highly extreme, so it could not be that. Well, perhaps a more moderate nation could form, that banned prostitution, drugs, and the like. This would be worse than we have now, for it limits the freedoms of the individual. It will cause criminal activity to spike, due to the black market and such. There is much money to be made on illegal contraband.
If those freedoms affect the people around that individual in negative ways how can you justify giving those people the freedom that led to such negative circumstances. |
