| Petition: Sticky The "There is a fifth..." Thread
Since Tweak has tried to silence the "There is a fifth..." thread, I will once again make my thread that says why it should be stickied with a [borrowed] speech.
I stand on this rostrum with a sense of deep humility and great pride - humility in the wake of those great architects of our history who have stood here before me, pride in the reflection that this home of legislative debate represents human liberty in the purest form yet devised.
Here are centered the hopes and aspirations and faith of the entire human race.
I stand here as an advocate the "There is a fifth..." thread, for the issue is fundamental and reach quite beyond the realm of partisan considerations. It must be resolved on the highest plane of world interest if our course is to prove sound and our future protected.
I trust, therefore, that you will do me the justice of receiving that which I have to say as solely expressing the considered viewpoint of a fellow member of Battleforums.
I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve the "There is a fifth..." thread.
The issues are global, and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector oblivious to those of another is to court disaster for the whole.
There are those who claim our strength is inadequate to protect this thread, that we cannot divide our effort. I can think of no greater expression of defeatism.
For entertaining this view, all professionally designed to support our forum and to bring hostilities to an end with the least possible delay and at a saving of countless lives, I have been severely criticized in lay circles, principally abroad, despite my understanding of this thread from a perfectly sound standpoint.
Efforts have been made to distort my position. It has been said in effect that I was a douche. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I know this thread as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete sticky, as the destructiveness on both friend and foe is awfully real if it is not stickied. Not stickying it and ignoring me has been rendered useless as a means of settling this international disputes.
But once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War's very object is victory, not prolonged indecision.
In war there is no substitute for victory.
Hurrah for Lemon Chiffon!
