OOC: Normally, I've done Letters to the Editor as a Sporting World thing in the past but I figured I'd do News Magazine's letters for a change.

Letters to the Editor
Nova Hellstrom-Hancock
I have to say that Nova Hellstrom-Hancock is probably less qualified than Kyle Bolton to be a consul of the Free Republics. While she currently holds elected office, which is an improvement on the clowns we've been electing as consuls of late, she is a walking international incident who has written articles like "Thank Goddess for Adbots". I actually agree with most of her policy positions but I think our country can do better than a professional wrestler and lousy journalist.

I'm excited that Nova Hellstrom-Hancock is running for consul. While she may have been immature and impulsive when she was younger, people change and she's become a true leader in recent years. Nova cares deeply about addressing the inequities in Republican society. I can't remember the last candidate who spoke so forcefully and with such passion in defense of important causes like gender equality and workers rights. We would truly be lucky to have her as one of our leaders.

Sister Polus v. South Covello
It is an absolute embarrassment to our nation that Sister Polus, a woman whom the Republica Police Department considers a public nuisance. How many people have forgotten that this woman likely aided murderers at the Olympics by wasting police resources with frivolous reports. Its ridiculous that individuals who have never been to the Free Republics can be sued in our courts over an incident that happened in another country. This is yet another example of why we need to be more like the rest of the multiverse instead of clinging to our outmoded idea of Republican exceptionalism.

I don't usually agree with much that Sister Polus says or does but I'm hoping she wins this court case. The government of South Covello is corrupt and lawless. If the government disagrees with your political views in that country then its perfectly acceptable for mobs of thugs to assault you in public or even to murder you. While the government itself doesn't do the dirty deed of suppressing dissent, the thugs and fanatics in that country are every bit as bad as the secret police of any authoritarian dictatorship. South Covello is a nation run by fascists masquerading as liberals. Yes, the current regime is still better than the Gregoryisgodistan days but they still don't understand freedom and they still don't have fundamental civil liberties in that nation. As I teach my students at Ren Rep, part of living in a free society is learning to tolerate points of view that you disagree with or even find repugnant. Its a shame that the people of South Covello have yet to learn this lesson.

The behavior of the government of South Covello is utterly unacceptable but it was inevitable. Before their revolution, the people of South Covello lived as slaves of a madman who impersonated God and murdered people for trivial reasons like being the family member of somebody who forgot to watch a World Cup soccer match. After their revolution, they predictably turned to atheism and libertinism. While that is understandable, they now live an empty materialistic existence and are deeply intolerant of anybody who advocates a more fulfilling lifestyle. Yes, Godless materialism and hedonism are appealing even to those who've grown up in the faith because we are all sinners who live in a fallen multiverse. We are all tempted by evil in this life and when we are deeply under its spell, we lash out against the righteous. Righteous people like Sister Polus who just want other people to live happy and fulfilling lives under Iesus Christus are routinely persecuted by evil and that is not acceptable. That is why she must punish those responsible for disrupting her television program in a court of law.

Main Nation Ministry/Gossip Magazine
Can Gossip Magazine and the Main Nation Ministry just go away already? I'm sick and tired of hearing about this crap. Why must Consul Nicholls meet with the girl from the Ministry? Why does the Ministry care so much about these obviously fake sex tapes that they burn down buildings just because they think Jasper Chuter might be in there? I don't sympathize with any of them. Its too bad we can't just jail everybody associated with Gossip Magazine, seize WankTube's servers and invade the Main Nation Ministry. At the very least, that'd make men out of some of those immature boys running around these days pretending to be adults!

My husband died in the O'Reilly Tower fire. He worked for Gossip Magazine as an executive and died a truly horrible death. I can't believer that Scarlett the Harlot would attempt to cover up the truth! She's the one who should be impeached. I also can't believe that she's allowed the so-called "Leader" to return to our Federation. We should invade the Main Nation Ministry and burn that entire shithole to the ground!

While what Leader did was unacceptable and he should pay restitution to the victims, it is also unacceptable that Gossip Magazine is permitted to continue publishing outright lies. Jasper Chuter should be in jail after assaulting so many women over the years and inciting the O'Reilly Tower Fire. Its a shame that the Etoile girl didn't have better parents as she's grown up a complete hellion who has no respect for anybody or anything.
