I can't say I have any confidence in the selection. I hope Haymarket can quickly develop the skills necessary to fulfill this role.
A lonely soul in a room by itself weeping. It lives for eighty years and then it's gone. And then it's there again. A reprieve. A good life. Love, children, a steady career. Recognition from your peers. Here one moment, gone the next. The worms have found their orifices. Diagnosis. It forgets everything it is. Anger. Rage. Distance. Poverty. The lonely soul is lonely again. Love turns to mockery. It dies. It is reborn. Worse. Lonelier.

You’re not a real GAer! Ridgefield and The Black Hawks for Christ sakes? Two resolutions in four months? What a joke! I worked my ass off to get to where I am, and you take these shortcuts and you think suddenly you’re my peer? You do what I do because you're funny and you can make people laugh, I committed my life to this! You don’t slide into it like a cheap pair of slippers and then reap all the rewards!

I know you. I know what you were, what you are, people don’t change! You’re Slippin’ Lizzy! And Slippin’ Lizzy I can handle just fine but Slippin’ Lizzy with a GenSec position is like a chimp with a machine gun! The law is sacred! If you abuse that power people get hurt! This is not a game! Cause you have to know on some level I know you know I’m right! You know I’m right!

Very happy that the latest GenSec ruling now permits women to join. I have full confidence in this selection, and I believe that Haymarket possesses the necessary skills for fulfilling this role. In fact, I am so confident that I believe she will be able to sit on the Secretariat for as long as she likes due to her unique knack for professionalism when interacting with her peers and superiors. After all, NationStates can only function with team members who are willing to work with one another, and anyone who has the social skills to adhere to, say, a written Code of Conduct, deserves their staff membership. And on top of that, if there ever was to be an incident, Haymarket would be more than willing to be take responsibility for herself without evasiveness or caveats. I applaud GenSec for their selection, as well as this tightening of standards for who they admit into their august ranks.
