Personal Assistant Selected
I have selected 2 PA's to assist me in my duties here at the Family. They are tasked with communications to the membership, and assisting me in watching issues develop.
I would like everyone to welcome:
Elanore_666 and Kingsland as my new PA's.
If you recieve a message from them with the subject,"From the office of J_Trane" those are my words, and should be treated as such. If you feel the need to contact me, please take it to one of these fine Urbs to filter it to me.
Thank you to all the other candidates. As impressive as some of your Resumes may be, I have reasons for choosing the two that I did.
Nurb Off,

Life Lesson I
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the Majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred yeas. These nations have progressed through the following sequences: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage." - Alexander Tyler, written over 100 years ago. How true these words ring now.
Life Lesson II
"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individuals rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand
