No hydra's have voted so far, the new poll screening software I installed is likely responsible for that!

I am also glad to see that members from Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, England, and Victoria have voted and expressed their desire for democracy!

Brilliant job everyone!

It says 24 different users have voted in the poll in the figures above which is excellent. Apart from the minor hiccups with a couple of members pulling out, (of course hard to avoid), this has been done very well.

Default My Speech...

"Friends, Showmen... " (procuring a tray of filled beer glasses from the passing barman), "Publican.... lend me your beers".

(Crowd cheers: Hoooray!)

Rasing a glass aloft, "A good campaign is like a glass of beer, its all froth and bubble at the top, but if that's all you think it is then you have misunderestimated it.

(Hoooray!)

Just as our political opponents have seriosly misunderestimated our resolve.

We hear a lot of speak from those in the other area, who have collusionated to form an Axiom of Beagle. I say that we will not be resignated to this, we cannot let terriers and rogue hounds hold this site hostile!

(Hooray!)

I do not need to be subliminable here people, the very fact that they rely on facts... say things that are not factual... that very fact is going to undermine their campaigns!

(Hooray!)

Yes, one of my political opponents, he has certainly earned a reputation as a fantastic politician, because the results speak for themselves. I mean, the other area is a safer place for him to be now than it was before!

As Secretary General, I will focus on educationalism. We need to make this site what we want it to be, a more literate site, and a hopefuller site. To acheive this we will take children off the streets and put them in schools, where we will educationalize them. They may be overly bored by these lessons, but no one ever lost an election because of children over-bored.

(Hooray!)

Then there are my plans for the Moderators. I understand that redefining the role of the moderators from enablers to keep the peace to peacekeepers to enable moderation is difficult to understand for some, but it is all part of the grander plan.

(Hooray!)

Then there is my plan for the "safety net", which I will place accross the mouth of the website to catch whatever hydras have fallen into it. I recognize there are hurdles, strong hurdles, but we are going to acheive those hurdles.

My opponents' say that most of my policies are "Pie in the Sky", I say we should make the Pie higher! I have entertained discussionations with bakers to acheive this. My opponents' can't have it both ways, they can't take the high horse and then claim the low road.

(Hooray!)

As Secretary General, I wll be mindful of not only preserving powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.

Under my General Secrataryship I have envisonated a better future, a future in which we will be ready for our children, or an unseen event that may or may not happen.

When you go to the voting booth today, you have an option to enablate that future. When you go to cast your vote, remember: I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.

Vote 1 LBC for Secretary General!
(Hooray!)

Oh, I though you were the UK voter! Glad to have an American voter on board too. There was even a dual Australian and Canadian citizen voted in our poll as well, so North America was very well represented!
