Subject: Darin needs some added perspective for his studies
Warnings: He's stupid
[Darin pulls back from the camera sitting at a drafting table in his home. However, instead of blueprints and sketches and diagrams, things you'd normally see on his drafting table and workstation, there's...an awful lot of textbooks. Darin reaches up and pulls the small pair of reading glasses from his face and pinches the bridge of his nose. No, he's not wearing them for show, he actually does wear reading glasses when he needs them.]
Okay, this is going to sound really really weird coming from me but...I guess I could use some help.
Does anyone understand how like...government works? Like, at all? Because it seems like a whole bunch of rules and guidelines that should be common sense until they aren't and the more I read, the more I feel like I've either understood this my entire life or I'm going crazy.
Plus? I never went to school so...anyone up for a spirited debate? Something? Anything? If I spend anymore time reading I think I might eat the next book.

So, what do you look for in a governing body?
no subject
Many of us who live on the islands in my world don't hold a strict since of a governing body. More or less, each village governs itself with a mayor and such to help with guidelines, but most importantly many of us seek to simply uphold each other in times of need. Be it against a natural disaster or something more nefarious.
So, perhaps to that I would say: I would seek a sense of flexibility, a respect of identity, and encouragement of community so we may cooperate together for a brighter future.

I'm pretty sure there are places like that where I come from but...I'm starting to realize I'm not nearly as worldly as I thought...
