My dear Minister Andersson,
I warmly welcome your comments on my viewpoints regarding ladonian bureaucracy.
Eonacy is beautiful. And to be respected as a source of ideas and creativety, as you so rightfully
suggest.
This has never been a problem within Ladonia. We are eonic, creative and we flourish in new ideas
and viewpoints.
However, useless creativity is exactly just that: Useless.
Luckily, the creativety of Ladonia’s founder can be of use – in many areas. In our debate we touch
two, namely education and entertainment.
I have never had the intentions of supporting Ladonian expansion – on the contrary. I am
against all ideas of expansion geagraphically, but naturally for the expansion of the creative base
in Ladonia. Hence, my first memo on the Meaning of Ladonia.
My deprtments' work to enforce a broader intra-communication, and my personal viewpoint on this,
is best examplified by your reply. We communicate, and we touch new and controversial issues.
Which matters are to be considered meaningless and which are not, are hopefully not for you and me
to decide. All matters brought forward are to be considered as meaningful, at least to the ones declaring
them. I do, however, find it as a totally meaningless objective to count tourists, which of course I don’t.
But I do not agree that tourists should be considered as of minor importance, since they obviousely
spread their impressions of Ladonia to others, and by doing so, actually broadens the knowledge of our
existance.
Your summarized my attitude as rational, pragmatic, goal oriented and
basically materialistic.
You may be correct, I leave it to others to decide. But, I do beleive in Balance.
And in bilateral means in achieving it.
Finally, I welcome your application as Minister of the Apple-Tree – a truly
admirable cause, with, as you state, a purpose: Making Apple Wine (Yummie!)
and more...
Sincierly,
Lord Aslak Viking
