[CENTER][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxkKiI2yG8c]Minutes of the People’s Council for Social Justice {The meetings henceforth have a new attendant, who shall from this point be denoted as FI}[/url][/CENTER] [CENTER]///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////[/CENTER] RM: Alright, I’d like to thank everyone for coming. {LC} says we have a new member, let’s greet him. What’s your name, Mr…..?” FI: {FI}, Sir. All: Welcome, {FI}. RM: Right then. We’re all acquainted with what happens here but let’s give our new guest a bit of an explanation. This is a place where socially minded citizens like ourselves can gather together, where we can vent our frustrations with what is going on in our community, but not only there; things as small as our families, to the star cluster at large. This is a healthy place to vent our frustrations with what we see in our lives, and find social solutions to these things if we can. I’d like everyone else to introduce themselves. All: (see former sessions) RM: As our newest guest, would you like to begin {FI}? FI: …. RM: Alright, I understand. People can be shy. Would anyone else like to begin? SJ: Yeah, uh, I would, if you don’t mind. RM: Go ahead. SJ: Right, so, I’m sure everyone here knows of the football league. It’s a small thing, but it gets some of the boys out of trouble, its something to look forward to and we even had a start come from here, famous system-wide. But… well, some official fellow came over and said we ought to, no we [i]have to[/i] start taking xenos in, and that we’d be playing against some. Now I don’t have anything against them, I don’t think any of us do, it would be absurd; my very neighbour is a simmie! But football was designed for humans, its nonsense to have aliens in the league. They either push out all the boys we had on the team before or they drag the team down, its absurd. I asked if we can take them out, the bureaucrats said no.” All: (indignified statements) RM: Awful, what could be done? AN: If I may? RM: Of course! AN: Why not make a separate league? The ones that insist on such nonsense will be uncompetitive, and eventually unpopular. It’ll die out, whilst yours will flourish? SJ: A good idea, I’ve thought about it. But we’ll get not support, no recognition from above. RM: So? We will support you. We’ll raise the funds, record the games, we hae the means, we’ll make a better one than the official one! All: (approval) SJ: Well…. RM: Come on, we won’t take no for an answer. SJ: Hmmm. Well, we’ll give it a go then. I’m skeptical, but we can give it a try. RM: Excellent. Anyone else? MA: Yes sir, Me sir. Its horrible sir. I work at the hospital you all know, optometrist if you didn’t. The thing is I don’t have to do much work in emergency care, people come see me and that’s all, I don’t need much in the way of cots and all. But only yesterday we have someone with a very strange infection in their eye. This person would have to be with us for some intensive care and when I asked for accomodations for him, they said there were none. None whatsoever. When I studied in the core there were two for every man in every section of the local hospitals, why can’t we get that? There any medicine was available, now I need to wait a week for cures to a disease that kills in a day. I come from the core myself, I moved here because they told me I can make the world a better place. Well pardon my language but how the fuck am I supposed to make these places better when its just me, no help, no tools, nothing? RM: I don’t know what to say. I feel almost powerless to help, I don’t think we have enough resources to do anything. We just can’t raise the funds to make a difference. LC: We can try. RM: Of course. But I don’t think the difference we will make will be too grand. LC: Better than nothing. RM: Of course. FI: I think I’m ready to say something. RM: Yes? FI: Right, what {MA} said touched me, I have a bit of a similar situation oh yes. Well let’s see, in this shithole planet there’s no hope. We all just farm on and farm on, or make sure the people who stopped farming on have to keep on doing just that. You get punished for not wanting to do what every other god damn person is doing. I worked for a god damn test that would let me get a great grade, so that I can go on to a good university, and I know I am not the only one. But guess what? Some shit at school can’t be replaced in spite it being widely known things in it are dysfunctional. My father’s had it forced into his head there’s no other life but growing crops and cattle, and he can’t let anyone else - not even his dear boy - be different. Is there anyone to appeal to? Fuck no. Is there anything anyone here can do? Fuck no. All I can do is scream in anger here and guess what, that will only make things worse for me, gets me emotional, takes away time I’m studying lowering my chances even more. I’d say that’s all but its not, its all I can say without having to go hit something. RM: I think you’ve found the right place, then.
