[hider=Machinations][code]You rebels are all the same. Seeking to overthrow tradition, history, order, and for what? So that you can put your own tyrant in this one's stead?

The Glorious Leader[/code], Holmishire spits, [code]as he is called, is weak and cruel. And yet, that gives you no right to take his life. We humans are ultimately selfish and self-destructive—without a strong leader to beat us into submission, there would be none left both living and sane enough to revel in the glory of the newfound victory.

To gain freedom, freedom must be stripped of another.

So fight your petty wars, resist if you must. I care not if you succeed, or if you are crushed as is all you deserve. I swear no allegiance to a single man, only to power. And where one loses power, another rises to fill the void. Order will always be returned to balance.[/code][/hider]

I've finally settled on a solid plan for my entry. Hopefully I'll still be able to finish writing the thing, what with all these exams being crammed into my face right about now.
