Citizenship Renunciation

[ron]

Date: 14 June 2004

From: Ron Rosáis
To: KRI, PM Q and all R-T Citizens

Re: My Citizenship Status

I, Ron Rosáis, hereby officially renounce my citizenship in the Kingdom of Talossa. I arrived at this decision today after much effort addressing the root cause for all recent events. The bureaucratic inertia that is preventing expedient action from occurring is a major issue for me as is the mentality behind screening real-life records, the mischaracterization of their (the records) content and the protracted campaign of libel that followed these skewed discoveries. Additionally, nobody else seems to have the intestinal fortitude to reprimand Ben for undertaking the aforementioned course of action, is willing to take measures to prevent gross invasion of personal privacy and hold violators of this type accountable whether Royal or not.

I will not be “held in check” with the possibility that members of my family or I are subject to a record search along with the vitriol that follows should I happen to disagree with Ben or one of his ilk. This is very disturbing to me and should be disturbing to all of you as well. McCarthyism and Gestapo tactics are alive and well in the R-T and I will no longer be manipulated by lies, intentional personality mischaracterization or the possibility that my private conversations (e-mail and voice) with anyone could be publicly disclosed as an accepted political tactic or for the purpose of impugning my character. I value my privacy. I value accountability and equality of ALL people under the law.

How many more people need to leave the Kingdom before its Regency and elected government take aggressive and decisive action to prevent Ben and/or anyone else from acting with no fear of reprisal or regard for the basic right of personal privacy?

Electronically Signed,

Ron Rosáis

*sigh*

First of all, Ron, the "bureaucratic inertia" you mention exists because WE CAN'T VOTE ON ANYTHING YET. There are changes to the OrgLaw that need to be made, and there isn't a thing we can do about it this very second, and you should know better than to think otherwise.

Don't you dare accuse any of us for not having intestinal fortitude, because 1. I said the privacy thing would be taken care of, and 2. how the hell can we discuss this with Ben when he's out of the bloody country?

Accusing me of not wanting to take action while you're renunciating is chickenshit. You didn't do a damn thing yourself.

Anyway, I'm sorry you feel this way, and that you're leaving. You could have stood with us. Instead, I can't help but use the analogy that you blew your wad.

There are good reasons, Ron, and there are real reasons. What is your real reason?

There is three level of government, the legislative, the executive and the judicial. While the legislative have been suspended for the election, the other two should be working fine, yet they are the ones with "bureaucratic inertia", Ron is quite right on that statement.

There are changes to the OrgLaw that need to be made, and there isn't a thing we can do about it this very second, and you should know better than to think otherwise.

So the ONLY way to fix the problems are through OrgLaw amendments? Must I assume that the government will continue its inertia until those "amendments" passes which will be the next election?

Just like Ron, I am voicing my dissatisfaction with this administration. As for the problem with Ben, while I have no quarrel with the King myself, I believe that Chris' Cort case against Ben is overdue for a ruling, but the Cort won't do nothing about it and your government seems content with apathy.

Accusing me of not wanting to take action while you're renunciating is chickenshit. You didn't do a damn thing yourself.

Bullshit! Ron has done as much as anyone else. I am also complaining about this, are you also going to claim I didn't do a thing. Wake up Devin...

I can't do anything about the judicial, but there wasn't a thing wrong with the exec. Just because I wasn't jumping up and down hopping mad like some doesn't mean I wasn't working on plans. I guess a cool head and careful planning isn't enough. Rash and hasty actions seem to be what are needed. Well, I wasn't going to make them. Sorry if that bugged you and Ron.

I don't know what the government is going to do. That's not my problem anymore.

Will you quit beating around the bush already? If you've got all the answers, spit 'em out.

"This administration" is over, and you can bark at the new one all you want.

That's just the thing. All Ron did was complain. You, on the other hand, are active in your preparations. BIG difference, and don't you dare think I didn't know it.

You now have the opportunity to work with a new administration, and that's fine with me.

Well, you don't have to give details but for someone interested in the plans of others, you sure kept secret about those.

No, I never asked for rash or rushed decision, especially not concerning any legislation. I agree that careful planning and studied decisions must prevail. What I have been complaining about was the lack of direction or policy from the government as well as inaction from the Cort.

I don't know what the government is going to do. That's not my problem anymore.

And whose problem is it?

I don't have all the answers, and regardless what I would do may not be what others would. I am just fed up with this going nowhere attitude within Talossa, where nobody has any clear idea about the future of Talossa.

"This administration" is over, and you can bark at the new one all you want.

I am truly sorry that you feel that way about my criticisim, in any case I don't really care anymore. Why in hell should I anyway? You see each and every single time the administration gets criticised or something doesn't work, people have just giving up. Some have left the Kingdom, others have resigned and most of all when that happen things still don't get done.

That's just the thing. All Ron did was complain.

Really, well perhaps we're not on all the same mailing lists.

You now have the opportunity to work with a new administration, and that's fine with me.

In truth, I don't know whether or not I want to be involved anymore...
