[i]Lezrahi had happened to have come down from the mountain to be among the crowd today, and when he heard this speech by this man displaying his preposterous jawline, he could not help but to cover his mouth as he shook his shoulders in laughter, doubling over slightly. Sometimes, people exhibit the damnedest speech impediments.
Once he was done, however, he became somewhat more serious.[/i]
For one, my friend, words can be powerful, yet these are not, and never are when you have betrayed, and have yet to offset that betrayal.
For another, though, the infamous Pacifican definition of betrayal is one handed out all too frequently. Though I do not pretend to know how long it is these days, I am sure that their historical list of 'traitors' could be fed around this planet more times than a human's circulatory system could. That said, with so many 'traitors', one must ask themselves whether or not Pacifica betrayed [i]itself[/i] (and even whether or not it still does).
If you truly do feel that strongly about your actions, then you had best be prepared to repent for them come the next time they find themselves in dire straits. Perhaps a good place to go for this purpose would be The Phoenix Federation. They have come a long way since the Unjust War.
[i]Lezrahi bowed, and then, longing for the shade of the oak atop the mountain, departed.[/i]

Yeah, I ask myself that question all the time: Has Pacifica betrayed itself? No, what I really ask myself is, how is a list fed around a planet? Do planets eat? Do things need to go around them before they eat? Or is it that lists are like satellites, and they go around the earth? Are they then eaten? Do other planets eat them?
