A message from frozen Texas:
I'm one of the intelligent that paid attention to a week's worth of warning allowing me to stock up on food and stay home for the duration. So far only a two hour loss of electricity plus a 24 hour period without internet. Many are less lucky even having their water turned off. Still two to three days to go.

Governing a large country
is like frying a small fish.
You spoil it with too much poking.
Center your country in the Tao
and evil will have no power.
Not that it isn't there,
but you'll be able to step out of its way.
Give evil nothing to oppose
and it will disappear by itself.

AGAINST AGAINST LIBERATIONS AGAINST AGAINST
So here is the deal: I loathe Liberation Resolutions.
I had the Anti-Security Council Tag created because I loathe Liberations.
I find Liberations fundamentally contrary to the Password protection game mechanism given to the WA Delegate who is chosen by the Region.
Liberations are thus a breach of Regional sovereignty.
As I such it is the only time I ask for a particular vote from a sovereign Nation.
Ignoring my request leaves me two recourses:
1) Accept the Nation’s decision
2) Eject the Nation until the vote is completed
I will choose option 2.
All Liberation Ejections will be temporary. The offending Nation can return once the vote is registered.

When a country obtains great power,
it becomes like the sea:
all streams run downward into it.
The more powerful it grows,
the greater the need for humility.
Humility means trusting the Tao,
thus never needing to be defensive.
A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow that he himself casts.
If a nation is centered in the Tao,
if it nourishes its own people
and doesn't meddle in the affairs of others,
it will be a light to all nations in the world.

The Tao is the center of the universe,
the good man's treasure,
the bad man's refuge.
Honors can be bought with fine words,
respect can be won with good deeds;
but the Tao is beyond all value,
and no one can achieve it.
Thus, when a new leader is chosen,
don't offer to help him
with your wealth or your expertise.
Offer instead
to teach him about the Tao.
Why did the ancient Masters esteem the Tao?
Because, being one with the Tao,
when you seek, you find;
and when you make a mistake, you are forgiven.
That is why everybody loves it.

Act without doing;
work without effort.
Think of the small as large
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.
The Master never reaches for the great;
thus she achieves greatness.
When she runs into a difficulty,
she stops and gives herself to it.
She doesn't cling to her own comfort;
thus problems are no problem for her.

What is rooted is easy to nourish.
What is recent is easy to correct.
What is brittle is easy to break.
What is small is easy to scatter.
Prevent trouble before it arises.
Put things in order before they exist.
The giant pine tree
grows from a tiny sprout.
The journey of a thousand miles
starts from beneath your feet.
Rushing into action, you fail.
Trying to grasp things, you lose them.
Forcing a project to completion,
you ruin what was almost ripe.
Therefore the Master takes action
by letting things take their course.
He remains as calm
at the end as at the beginning.
He has nothing,
thus has nothing to lose.
What he desires is non-desire;
what he learns is to unlearn.
He simply reminds people
of who they have always been.
He cares about nothing but the Tao.
Thus he can care for all things.

The ancient Masters
didn't try to educate the people,
but kindly taught them to not-know.
When they think that they know the answers,
people are difficult to guide.
When they know that they don't know,
people can find their own way.
If you want to learn how to govern,
avoid being clever or rich.
The simplest pattern is the clearest.
Content with an ordinary life,
you can show all people the way
back to their own true nature.
Anyone else notice that Mikeswill usually yells AGAINST AGAINST AGAINST at every SC vote, but this time he quietly voted for repealing Northern Borland's commendation? I was honestly expecting a post saying FOR FOR FOR or something...
(I'm not questioning you Mike, please don't misconstrue this post)
