So, how many of you know where you stand? I for one, do not. I am on the fence, you may say. This is BabyPowdr here with some pros and cons of a free Whyville.

Elected Government

If we had Whyvillians as city workers, things would be way different. Once I put up a petition for this, but nothing came of it. Which, I might say, is good. Think about it people, this is NOT like being class president or even student council president. You would actually have to DO stuff, LoLz, and think about it. You would have to take complaints and suggestions SERIOUSLY. You would be under fire all the time, because not everyone is going to agree with you, guaranteed. You do know that, right? Besides, I kinda like the situation as it is. I get to say I live in places with democracy and a communist/dictatorship. All that is left is a monarchy. I saw that a monarchy was sort of formed in Whyville by some citizens, but I've not heard much about that lately. I don't get how that would work either, but mind you, I don't get a lot of things on the first try. LoLz.

I agree it would be really very cool to actually be a real live City Hall helper, and you would probably learn a lot of really interesting and useful neat stuff. In fact, I would love to be a helper, but I don't think it is really all that wise. I am already under fire as it is on here, and I definitely don't need more. But think about it, you'd get to control the lives of thousands, and they do what you say, or else. Hmm... pretty tempting right? Yeah, it is. If this goes through, I will run, I think. I hope to, anyway.

Dictatorship

I don't see what is wrong with having a dictatorship, in this situation. But many of you seem to. So, let's break it up here.

Firstly, we don't have to think, which is good. Actually, I have nothing to say on this matter. I like it. For some reason, you people just can't see WHY we need people to not be swearing. I mean, there are little kids on this site, younger than many of us. I'm 14, I've been here since May 2000 (the night of the first prom), which is ever since I was legally old enough to go into a chatroom (in Canada, the youngest you can be is 12 years old. Do you want 12 years olds to be swearing all foul and nasty? No, I think not.

Anyway, you're never really free, no matter where you are. You know? There's always responsibilities and stuff. Here's probably my favourite poem of all time -- I know it off by heart and recite it in many of my essays upon the concept of governing the people of a country. I hope to study some anthropology so I can find out how this concept worked hundreds of years ago. This is really an interesting topic. Anyway, the poem is this (I don't know who wrote it):

Freedom
Freedom is, free to do
just whatever please you.
That is to say, that what you wish
is what you may.
