[there's a thoughtful hum.]

I've seen a lot of kinds of law enforcement. The ones with a spot of tyranny were my favourite, really. [what a thing

All depends on the government doesn't it?

[voice]

[ragnalol]

Maybe! Why, does yours?

[voice]

[havemyflaws]

Where I come from - and it's not exactly a normal scenario - had the military dealing with military matters. And then a security force for the civilian fleet. And then when we got a new President...well they had the most corrupt law enforcement I've ever seen.

[ragnalol]

How'd you elect your President?

[voice]

[havemyflaws]

By voting. But there were efforts to rig the election, people noticed and the person they tried to keep out ended up being President.

[Pause and a sigh.]

Wish no one had found out about the attempted rigging because our new President dragged us into a whole heap of crap.

[voice]

[ragnalol]

But if nobody found out about the rigging, wouldn't it have been worse?

[voice]

[havemyflaws]

No. We'd have kept our current President and she wouldn't have sold us out to our enemies when we were all trying to start new lives on a new planet.

[voice]

[ragnalol]

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, eh?

[also, what. new planet. what? he makes an amused sound at the very thought.]

[voice]

[havemyflaws]

Not so much; we thought we were getting a chance at having real lives again instead of breathing canned air and being on alerts. And we got that for a year before the Toasters and skin jobs started marching through the streets.
