| Message | We may support this. Although we rather like the current motto (Newly Risen, How Brightly You Shine, right?), the idea of improvement or progress being the collective goal of the Kundrati Union sits well with the KSP. It is non-political in the sense that each of us has a different view of what improvement entails, while being something around which we can unite. Moreover, it just sounds good. :-) |

| Message | "Meliora: A Latin word meaning the state of always being in improvement (or, "better things"). It is the motto of the University of Rochester, and also is the name of a software company, a piano roll company, and a skin balm." Ah. So the Union would be in excellent company then. |
