Fractured Union Quotes

“child unwrapping”
― Craig A. Falconer, Fractured Union

“The veto-based voting structure turned what should have been a cooperative endeavour into a petty game of horse-trading and politicking. Some of that lies on my shoulders, perhaps, but I fully and loudly absolve my fellow Deputy Planetary Liaisons in the form of Valerie Slater and Ding Ziyang of any responsibility. They have acted with patience of a quite remarkable sort, and our initial tripartite decision to propose UNICA’s consensus-based voting structure was taken in faith that you would respect the spirit of that structure. The consensus model was intended to prevent any unjustifiably unbalanced costs or benefits, not to allow some of you to hold our planet’s future hostage for the sake of economic or geopolitical concessions.”
