The Badlands cannot be moderated. The very implication negates what the Badlands represents.
Here's the problem as I see it: Anyone who mods the Badlands instantly becomes part of "the System" and corrupted. They lose their innocence, their voice, and they lose their way. They become that which they rail against. They become the PROBLEM, and not the SOLUTION.
Elections?
I see I have missed a lot during my self-imposed exile. (No, I never even lurked save the one or two times I might have posted one or two minor trifling things.)
And to call attention to the Badlands "waning" spirit, although valiant and appreciated, is also sad because we all know we can never go home again for that place never existed anyway. Not, really. And we have seen too much. We know too much now. And we have changed. Into pale ugly shades of our former brilliance. Just like the Badlands.
How can you believe in magic and merriment when you have seen the fist all up in the puppet's ass?
