Napoléon Bonaparte (J. Bernard-Sasges)
Hello. My name is Napoléon Bonaparte, and I am a French military and now political leader. I have recently been elected by the people into the position of emperor by the wonderful populous of France. In these times of trouble which we have just recently and barely escaped, I have decided to change France's motto of "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity," to "Order, Security, and Efficiency." This is exactly what our country needs right now as we are still recovering from the end of a horrible era in France's history. The previous motto emphasized what we already have, and it is now time to set a new goal. I am sure my fellow people of France will understand and appreciate this change for many reasons. This change will be benefitting to the people of the country by helping them stay safe, one thing they crave right now. It will also help us rebuild our country nearly from scratch, as we must eliminate all signs of our blotted past. This new motto will allow us to improve and rebuild relations with other nations as well. As long as we keep this phrase in mind, the nation of France can only thrive from here. Together we will work to pull France away from its horrendous past.

ReplyDeleteLiberty, equality, and fraternity cannot simply be obtained. Society does not simply "already have" equality, liberty, fraternity for all. It is something to strive for, ideas to live by. People do not need more constraint of the government, especially when their natural rights have yet to become fully protected. It is the duty of the government to continue to strive for this protection, live by it, not to simply move on to another strategy that has failed multiple times before.

ReplyDeleteYou say that citizens will become chaotic if with "Order, Security, and Efficiency," yet how do you expect them to be content without "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity?" To establish this new slogan would be taking steps backwards, in which not all be satisfied; a possible new Revolution could be a result. With unity and freedom, ALL can be content and the country will progress, but without it, how can you expect the change you wish to see.
