A voice shouted up from the cloud.
"So you say we spend the few resources we have to spend on basic rights such as healthcare on the [i]one thing[/i] the dojo gives us.
Not rebuilding our [i]homes[/i] from the mild disagreements of dojoites?
Not building a justice system that cannot be toppled by a tranquiliser gun and a snide comment by a dojoite?
Not making a police force that does not resource on collatiral-heavy dojoites acting simultaneously as judge, jury and executioner for the pettiest of crimes?
But making ourselves an army when we live next to a veritable legion of [i]space wizards?"

"What good are space wizards if they cannot protect us? We would not have to rebuild our homes if they were not destroyed in battle. We would not need a government if the people of the dojo set rules upon our lands!" The man retorted, looking around for the speaker. "With my campaign, I plan to be the first ever officially elected official in Dojoville history. If I can, I will change the very fabric we have grown accustomed to. We will have a government, and laws, and police. We will live as other civilizations before us have, we will live." "So, do not assume to know the full bearing of my plan. Do not assume to know what I will be like."

The speaker was a middle aged man in the middle of the crowd. "And what if one day, the dojoites don't like the fact they can't kill anyone they don't like? Do you really think rousing speeches and a petty army will help you then?"
-
"If the dojo turns against the people of the village, their true nature will be revealed. The people are the one constant through these wars. We will continue to, even if they turn against us. Our strengths lie in our wills. Our resolve to stay and survive."
-
"[u]bullshit[/u]. This time, answer my question."
-
"Our 'petty army' and our allies will fight against those that seek to persecute us for finding a voice. There are members of the dojo who would never harm the villagers. There are some that have, and have been executed as a result." "So yes. I believe all our efforts will help in fighting against the tyranny of the dojo."
-
"And what guarantee can you give us that the dojoites won't just continue with their own brand of justice?"
-
"I cannot make any such guarantees. The only thing I can reasonably say is that if we do not try, if we do not fight with every fiber of our being... Then perhaps we should stay the way we are. Us, fighting for a voice and for some kind of power shows them we are still human, we are mortal and we have lives. It's high time they realized that, and allowed us to fulfill those lives. I make no guarantees they will not have their our brand of justice, it is impossible to guarantee that. The same way it is impossible to guarantee the dojo will never be invaded again. "
