Stand - a speech from your PM - 1/1/2009 « Thread Started on Jan 1, 2009, 1:00am »
My fellow Talossans I great you on this day looking forward to what will soon be Talossa's 30th Anniversary year. It is with pride and love we hold our beloved Talossa, it is with joy and hope that we lift up Talossa with anticipation of great things.
Since 1979 Talossa has stood a shining star in the grand experience in nation building. From times of succession and times of war, from continued annoyance of bug nations to the relative peace in which Talossa now finds itself, we continue. Even after the escape from the madness of our founder, Talossa continues the long tradition of pressing on and building our nation.
In recent months great efforts have been made to build a better Talossa.
Great things with our language. Great things with our culture. Great things with our law. Great things with our government. Great things with and for our nation.
Today is a great day in Talossa, today Talossa needs to rally round, gird herself and do yet more great things. Today Talossa needs a surge of nationalism to sweep from the east across la Mar Talossan and grace its shores with the fair winds of patriotism and stiff breeze of surety to get the job done. This is a surge of nationalism that will continue to bring great things to Talossa.
Talossa is, and always will be, a thriving democratic monarchy with a bright and shining future full of great things. A Kingdom full of great active citizens. A Kingdom full of old and new Talossans building Talossa to a bigger and better place. Today, today Talossa needs your help.
Abraham Lincoln, a great statesman and nation builder once said, "Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."
Despite having a larger house, despite having a growing household, despite being in the obvious path of Talossa in the midst of great things, Talossa has been distracted by the house of another. In the midst of wonderful things, today is a day Talossa needs to rise up from that broken down distraction and diligently press forward with great things.
As we stand on the brink of the 30th anniversary of our great Kingdom of Talossa, we need Talossa to stand for her finest moments for the world to see.
How do we stand? We stand together. Every day with all of her citizens, Talossa lives and breathes much farther than a discussion board on a web server but in real life. Phone calls and communications, meetings and emails, a knowing glance between friends, between Talossans across the nations and around the world. Talossa stands together to build on the great things of the past and drive to the bright future that is Talossa.
The next question is, "How do I stand?" Each and every Talossan is unique in what he or she can bring to Talossa. For some it is a gift of writing, for some it is the amazing gift of language. For others it may be the gift of finances, and still many other gifts of time and efforts and great orations that can be made to help us all Stand Tall Talossans.
What will you do? Talossa is full of great people, great people ready to do great things... today, right now is the time we must build like never before, we must lift our nation up as a shining example that we are. Stand Tall Talossans, Stand Tall.
God save the King, God Save Talossa. Stand. Stetz.

In other words, you are "distracted" by some of the greatest Talossans who have ever lived including Art Verbotten. That's right, folks, Art Verbotten is a distraction.
And you wonder why we don't come back to the Kingdom? Do you good people <i>still</i> not get it??

Alright I am going to point this out to you in no uncertian terms. You are way off base in your understanding of my speech.

This has a big fat nothing to do with you guys in the republic. Perhaps, as you are not a citizen of the Kingdom, you are not aware of some of the current events here. Also, for legal reasons, I cannot go into tremendous detail, but suffice it to say we are being toyed with by two actual micronations. Maybe it is because I am now in a position to see all the crappy emails we get from other so called nations that come in every day. I am tired of it, I have asked for a clear "no-bug" message to be put to these individuals and small break off splinters. We have a no bug tollerance policy and we need to remain focused on Talossa and continue to build our country.
Since you felt this was directed to you or your friends in some way I am sorry, you are mistaken.
I would never refer to the republic as a "broken down distraction!" Clearly you are misguided in your comprehension and have even gone further to publicise your misdirection in your Kingdom focused paper.

I stand with you, Seneschal! A very good speech to start the year off! Here is the 2009 theme song.
Aside: As Deputy Immigration Minister, I admit I am no longer as privy to Cabinet discussions and other goings-on as I was in the past, but it would have surprised me to learn that the Talossan Republic had been anything of a distraction to anyone. I am not aware of any impact that that organisation might have had on the business of the Kingdom and its citizens' efforts to continue building Talossa, and I'm not aware of anything but friendly conversation between the citizens of the Kingdom and the persons of Talossan heritage who choose not to be.

Had I known about your micronational problems of late, Oraclâ No. 67 would have looked a LOT different. There will indeed be a retraction.
If you could send me the graphics of the flags and what-not associated with these bugs, they will look very good on the front cover of Oraclâ No. 68. jeff at transposemysong dott com
