This isn't very PM-ish of me, but I want to let you all know how I feel personally about recent events.
I am saddened that so many prominent Talossans felt the need to do their own thing. They were valuable members of the Kingdom in many respects. I'm not good friends with any of them, but I certainly do consider them "pals."
That said, I am shocked at how they have chosen to treat us. It reminds me of the Colts slinking off to Indy under cover of darkness and weather. Without all the vitriol, of course. The point is, I think they disrespected us as Talossans. They have created a situation where they hope things get so bad for us that we'll join them. I say, if we're so important to them, they would have asked us in the first place.
Indeed, we need reforms to ensure this won't happen again. But Talossa is much more than politics. It's about us, and how we interact with each other. That's real nationbuilding there. There's no point in having laws if we all hate each other.
I'm not going to beat myself up that this has happened, but I sure do wish I would have done some things different, and I know better what I need to do to lead our nationette.
You know, I can't help but feel a little like Jimmy Carter.
