The Matter at Hand; Congressional Elections
Epic Thoughts
The German-Sweden Conflict has given rise to all manner of emotional reactions, with people siding with one nation or the other, as the government attempts to remain neutral in the face of such public outcry. I have no envy for Gabriel and those who serve as his cabinet, for the events of the past twenty four hours has put them in a very tenuous place, with their friends and countrymen demanding action that, ultimately, cannot be done.
But, there is a much more important matter looming for South Africa than a war fought between two nations, both of which have proven themselves friends. We have allowed ourselves to become distracted at a very inopportune time. In less than four days congressional elections will occur.
Since Romania voluntarily stepped back from fighting against Indonesia in the wake of 'Investigation Day', Indonesia has been uncharacteristically quiet and unobtrusive. Do not let this sudden calm fool you, my friends. wizzie_don, or whatever the hell his name is, and those who think that the lack of rules or mechanics prohibiting take overs makes them a legitimate action within this game will come, once more, to our nation seeking to dominate us in the political arena.
While I lack any sort of inside scoop or first hand knowledge, I know our government and the leaders of the various political parties, are working as we speak to ensure that a congressional take over will be at least circumvented, if not completely thwarted. It falls to us, the citizens of South Africa, to leave the feelings we have about our neighbors, felt most heatedly in the wake of this conflict, behind us.
We may argue. We may fight. But in the end we are South Africans. One thing we can certainly agree on is, in spite of all the conflict in the world around us, that no one besides South Africans should govern South Africa. We will need each other in the next few days. Argue and fight all you wish, but never forget we are neighbors, and we are friends.

Sound advice. Calm in the face of the storm and look to your vital interests until the dust settles and the new world order is understood.
We all need to be here (and then some) to fight Wizzie_Dong and his minions. Let the Germans and Swedes sort themselves out. They're not our allies. We have bigger problems right here at home with another likely PTO attempt. In fact, we will likely need the support of our allies once again, as Wizzie_Dong will probably bring huge numbers to bear yet again.
Yes, our focus is now on the congressional elections that are just around the corner...
Good article ET
Does ET like Skittles?
ET does indeed like skittles. They remind me of my childhood.
"I have no envy for Gabriel and those who serve as his cabinet"
Envy is most certainly not the right word for it.
But you are right, we must now concentrate on making sure we remain a free country (the half of our country which is not occupied).
and we should think about the other half! we should free South Africa completelly!
@ Sorinhe. Yes we should and we will, but not quite yet, we should concentrate on retaining this half first.
Ralph: hope for the best, expect the worst.
work for strengthen our actual boundaries, prepare to recover what's ours.
We will stand united for South Africa, make no mistake about that
