If a Servant Complains of Hunger, one should not remove their Tongue, for they will Later Die of It!
Lady Eriape, the Wise, has long Known of a Failing in the Character of Cheliax. It is an Unfortunate Sign of Misrule for it not to have Been Yet Better Corrected. Any Person or Archmage paying Close Attention would have Expected this Event.
The More Ignorant have recently Caused such a Tumult at the Least Provocation. Our rulers, while Wise in their support for the Liberties of Publication are not Strong-Handed in the way that the Failing Cheliaxian Character Demands.
Again, I will repeat, not All are in that Lamentable Category. I expect Many Such Ignorant and Tumultuous Folk are among those Fools who do not Read the Badger!
Having noted then this Flaw in our Rulers, the Clever Badger Reader Asks, "Wise Lady Eriape how do you then Propose that our Rulers Improve?"
Lady Eriape shall Tell you!
The Foremost Duty of any Wise Government is to Cultivate a Better Populace. For as the Smith tempers Steel, so they Must as the Dutiful Smith Temper the very Soul of Our Nation. It is the Duty of those who Govern to Extirpate any of the Flawed Fraction of our Population.
This must take place through a Series of Immediate Executions of All who have Threatened Life or Property or my Urchin. Of Course, As a Master in the Obverse Arts, I know that this can be Performed by Many Magical Means.
Once this has been Done, it will be Clear to all Right-Thinking Men that the Unfettered Exchange of Ideas through Pamphleteering has Improved the Character of the Nation, by Eliminating the Bad Element.
This could then become a Yearly Tradition, evermore Improving the Character of the Population of Cheliax.
This Flawlessly Demonstrates the Virtue of Pamphlets! If the Rights to Pamplets is Withdrawn, then so is the Means to See this Failure of Character! '
Through Improved Rulership the Heat of Discourse and the Hammer of Justice will Yet improve the Population!
