[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2683550, member: 29014"] [color=cyan][B]"Tradition for the sake of tradition is preposterous. That is how a culture grows stagnant and dies, when people become unable to question something foolish just because it is called 'tradition' and someone did it before. It is also entirely arbitrary to call something as silly and trivial as walking a tradition. At that point, you can call it a tradition to sleep and then say that an elf has ruined your traditions by virtue of not sleeping and can't be the ambassador." "Besides, I'm not as willing to dismiss the possibility of foul play on the part of people of authority--I have discovered that authority figures resent people like us, people who are talented but outside of their circle of control...They will throw us to our deaths with no remorse if it is to their advantage and consider it an added bonus if it eliminates the free radical in the process...Care to take a bet as to whether you will be assaulted on the road if you agree to this foolishness?"[/B][/color] [/QUOTE]
