Are we on for this Saturday?
Klutz and Al, the basis is freedom. All intelligent beings have the right to be free of government and other restrictions to pursue their personal beliefs. Our government (Andoran) promotes the individual over the majority. If one gains personal freedom through the gain of wealth and another promotes distribution of wealth in order to free the oppressed, that is OK as long as it isn't at the expense of others personal freedom.
As a member of the Andorian Army Light Calvary we are tasked with ensuring the general well being and to promote the manifest destiny of personal freedom. To that end we take our duties seriously up to and including the neutralization and possible elimination, by force, of those and their organizations that endeavor to deny those aspects of freedom to others by use of coercion and force.
Capitalism, communism, and other isms are perfectly acceptable until one crosses the line and the government is called in to provide for the common defense.
Can't we all just get along?
If not, then Say hello to my little friend!
