Message | Madam Speaker, We see nothing wrong with the current law and reducing security in these times is hardly the correct method. There are a significant number of citizens who have ties to Davostan, and we do not believe these individuals should be allowed to leave Hutori and involve themselves in (or even start) any sort of crisis or conflict all because of the passport we give to them.These checks are in place for a reason, to prevent terrorists and criminals from roaming freely about Terra. We would rather have them in Hutori where we can monitor them and catch them before they act. If someone from Hutori does something illegal in Hutori, then we can deal with it appropriately. If someone from Hutori does something illegal in another country, we either have to fight to set them free (Say an ethnic/religious minority is jailed for violating another nation's segregation laws) or prove we aren't involved to prevent a conflict (terrorism, spying, other internationally recognized crimes). |

Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
