or maybe she really likes him (has a crush on him) but puts on a front that she hates him to hide her true feelings!

Freedom's just another word for "No debt left to gain".

Not sure smacking him unconscious and rescuing Statesman counts as a turn down - a beat down for sure, but he was on the recieving end

He's still going to get a beat down - even if he ends up hiding on a TF to avoid a one on one thrashing

One of my all-time inspirational models is Sojourner Truth.

A slave herself, she comported herself with untold dignity and fought to the bitter end against slavery, yearning for freedom.

In her own words:

" I did not run off, for I thought that wicked, but I walked off, believing that to be all right."

She attended women's rights organizations, and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of African Americans, even being accused of being a man by her detractors.

Who will be our Sojourner Truth?
Who will fight against the oppressive, stifling rule of "Emperor" Cole?

Remember, no "Empire" can exist without people.
You are the people.
You choose whether good or evil will subsist.
You can choose to resist and lead us all to a better life.

Fight for truth, fight for Truth.
Walk off.

Psst.
Speaking to the converted? Not going to help.

Speaking to the oppressed? Speaking for the oppressed?
That's why we're here.

Down with Cole.

Her Hollows revamp was just fantastic and I see spruced up NPC text all over the place. They had definitely not let her loose for another 4-5 months...

We have to. For the strength of our people.

In the grand riddle of life, here's a hint: The definition of "Good"!= The current iteration of the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

Speech that is re-focused and re-directed to subject matter in support of mankind's benefit and the proper recognition of the positive aspects of a free and peaceful culture is not restricting. I would argue - nay, I would proudly proclaim - that it is liberating and permitting of a range of discourse unfettered by the limiting aspects of fear and degradation rampant within a society that allows unfiltered filth to cloud the minds of unprotected citizens.

City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Have you asked "your" people about this? You know, like had an election or something?

And who decides what's ok to say and what isn't?

To be "For reals" for two seconds...

In Praetoia, the world enters such a state that people welcome and are initially grateful for Emporer Cole, I believe. Cole's first actions that put him in power were truly altruistic in intent.

Now, what he does to maintain that power is, of course, a radically different issue. The developer's have made it clear, however, that in the alternate universe where "Maybe I shouldn't..." has a quieter voice, science like Hamidon and Nuclear Weapons were reaching their full potential at an exponential rate. Cole's vision put a stop to that and did, in fact, "Save the world".

Popular opinion.

Currently, in Primal America, you cannot yell "Fire" in a crowded building unless there's a real fire.

You cannot make death threats against others.

You cannot leave sexually obscene messages to unwelcome parties.

You cannot explicitly discuss sex to minors without written permission from their guardians.

You cannot speak profanities on television without warnings, disclaimers, or observations of time slots.

I can go on...
