indesolution

I understand that a lot of you are dissatisfied with the way Babylon is currently run; I'm not exactly pleased myself. I'm glad that people are standing up and trying to make changes and implement better systems, however, which is what I have been advocating from the beginning. Whether you consider yourself 'with' or 'against' me is irrelevant to me. I ran for Congress, once, it's not as though I'm unused to opposition.

I'm holding this office and doing the work I do because I want to make changes for the better; changes that benefit the entire community. That requires a lot of paperwork day-to-day, and it's hard to make the non-fictional officials listen to my advice, especially when they are still so turbulent after the violent death of two of their primary leaders.

I know a lot of you are disillusioned after the government's most recent and panicked move, one which has caused me a lot of frustration. I'm always willing to speak reasonably with any of you, though I do not have time for those of you who come at me with bluster and violence, or aiming to deliberately antagonize.

Though I have been slightly overworked, I do feel as though I've been distant from the rest of you lately. Always feel free to consider my comments as an open forum to discuss issues you have with the way I'm handling things, or anything you want me to represent you in. If you would prefer a private arena, make an appointment with my secretary Fujioka Haruhi or send something to me in writing.

While I understand that everyone reads these things and they're an efficient way of communication, and I do act with that awareness in mind, please don't consider what is often purely my opinion to be an official statement of any kind. I have a life here too (or I try to, when my desk isn't covered with complaints.)

Finally, a lot of rumours have been going around about Constable Matt Parkman, who is a close friend of mine and who I believe to be a good man. He has recently been released from hospital after an unwarranted attack and I would ask that you go easy on him when he returns to work; we're working on getting him voice software so that you can see the intelligent and capable man behind the learning disability.
