I agree wholeheartedly with Senator X on the subject of education being a "great equalizer".

Ahem.

Frankly, Mr. Senator, I didn't say I agree with you because I don't. You say that education is the great equalizer. Senator X and I say that it should be, but tragically is not right now.

Education is the great equalizer. If it isn't, what else is? Are you saying that because our system is imperfect, that we need to find something other than education to achieve these goals? Otherwise you aren't making any sense by saying you disagree with me. Or are you saying you disagree with my stances on education? If so, which?

I think he means we need to improve our education system so that it can be the great equalizer of Atlasian society.

Which is what I'm saying. And doing. Smiley Anyway, I'm interested in hearing how Alfred intends to make improvements. We already have the GET Act and affirmative action won't improve the quality of our schools' provided education.

Also, Mr. Senator, may I point out that you, in fact, during debate on the act, had this to say:

I mean why is this a two way conversation between my and Nix?

Because its a lot of talking and not a lot of doing. I don't think this legislation will have a meaningful impact if it passes. I'm listening but I don't have much to say here. And if we go in a different direction, it'd be better to start over with a new bill.


You seem to be playing up the GET Act in this debate, Mr. Senator, but this shows that you in fact were not big on this bill originally.

I' ll just take a few moments to make a closing statement. It would be an honor for me to serve in the Senate. I didn't make big promises involving new programmes and spending because I am not trying to buy your votes. I will be fiscally responsible. I know after you vote you will probably not watch what is happening in the Senate, you will return at looking at other things. Vote for me and you can count on me to be your watching eyes.

Thank you Spamage for hosting the debate. To the other candidates, thank you for participating and good luck. To all Atlasians, thank you kindly for watching.
