— We will likely fine the police for property damage costs. They have an insurance for this, after all. But I will not support claims on lost profits from missing customers. These scandals have been a good advertisement, the clubs have already increased their clientele.
— The logic is clear — he said — and even the issue of deportation. Jella, and on what basis were those specific nineteen people picked? The public opinion in the world is that there have been reprisals for ideological reasons.
— It's bullshit, bro. They incited against public safety and the Charter.
— How so?
— In the usual way. For example, that pastor who was shouting into a megaphone.
— Jeremy Woodbrok — he suggested.
— Yes, Woodbrok. The video shows him calling to burn and destroy. After that, the glass facade of the cinema was broken and a Molotov was thrown inside.
— He says that he was just quoting the Bible. I checked it, he’s saying the truth. Deuteronomy, 7: " This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire ".
Jella snorted:
— A pig will find dirt anywhere. Not only in the Bible, even in an ABC. The court doesn’t care what he was quoting.
— But for some the bible is a holy book, which true in every word.
— These are their problems.
— It's their right, the freedom of religion is there in the Charter.
— The freedom of religion does not imply the freedom to bring everything that is written in some holy book to the streets — she snapped — see the difference?
— This refers to Woodbrok, but other representatives of the World Church Council were not seen in the street riots. But the human rights activists from the Committee of Fourty Eight...
— Clearly — cut in Jella — wait a moment.
She bent down, picked her gym bag and began to rummage in it. Out came lots of different objects: a tennis racket, an Air Meganesia cap, an issue of "Spearfishing" magazine, a mobile phone, a diving mask. Finally, she produced an electronic notebook.
— Found ya! Why do I always make such a mess?
— They say that a mess in the purse is a sign of femininity.
— Oh, it feels much better that way. Okay, let's start with the World Church Council. They issued a statement of "Faith and the Law", which literally states: "The so called Great Charter protects the right to sin, and sin must not be protected, it must be fought against and eradicated. Testimony of faith requires actions. Society must be made free of laws that justify immorality, that make mockery of faith and morals" . S ignatures. This is a public call for the destruction of the Charter, which is punishable by the highest measure of humanitarian self-defense.
— They say they are repressed for their faith, and refer to the experience of other countries where they are not persecuted for the criticism of moral relativism.
— No problem, other countries is precisely where we sent them off to . Now, regarding the human rights defenders, it is more complicated. The painful issue of family rights.
Sekar nodded, not looking up from the keyboard.
— Sen Vlkov already said that. Constraining the family rights when it comes to choosing the children’s education?
— Yo! To put it bluntly: the conflict between the rights of the child and the rights of their parents. Parents want to raise kids in certain tradition, but then the kids are fucked up, as modern society is not built according to their tradition.
— Obviously.
— Not quite . The Human Rights Committee 48 pressed on the fact that the g overnment is obliged to seek a compromise. And in the Charter states that first, this not in the competence of the government, and second, there is no compromise since child ’ s rights take precedence.
— Is t hat written in the charter?
— It reads: “From the moment of birth, the government guarantees every citizen's basic rights, as well as their complete and unconditional protection”.
— But parents also have rights — said Sekar — it is their child.
— The charter states: "no one has any rights on another person, except in the case of compulsory civil restrictions and compensation".
— So you're saying that my child is not really mine?
— Yours, but not in the same sense as your chair. You can saw a leg off your chair, but your child...
— Brrr. Jella, you really go far with examples!
— A little exaggeration for clarity — she explained — bringing a child up in the tradition of Puritanism , or say, Parsism, creates a disability. It objectively deprives a person from the ability to adequately communicate with peers, to receive full education, to participate in social and cultural life, to find a decent job. Children are people, not their parents' property. They are protected by the government. The government is obliged to intervene in to family matters as it is necessary for the protection of individual rights, as the Charter says.
— But ... — tried to insert the reporter.
Jella stopped him with a warning gesture.
— Do not interrupt, Malik. Yes, the government actions are tough, but we have virtually no domestic violence. Humanitarian organizations even suspected us for cheating and collected independent statistics. They had to admit: we are ahead of the entire world by a wide margin. Then, they suspected us of excessive government pressure on families, but turned out that we have a lot less of that than other countries. Finally, we were accused of total suppression of cultural communities. In response, coordinator Nakamura published the communique of the government, from which I will read a small quote.
She poked into her electronic notebook:
— Yeah, that one: "The Charter only recognizes a person as the subject of rights. If any group of people wishes to assert their collective rights , they form a corporation, representing only those registered in it, and only on issues they have delegated to it. Ethnic or religious affiliation is not a membership in a corporation. This implies no one can claim the rights of an ethnic or religious group and speak on behalf of all people belonging to it . Statements of this kind will be ignored by the government" . The e nd. The Supreme Court found the communiqué true to the Charter and within the government contract.
Sekar shook his head:
— That's really tough.
— Yo! — Agreed Jella — but the approach paid off. The government is openly wholly unconcerned about the requirements allegedly emanating from all Hindus, all Christians , or all Europeans, and it turned out the so-called " all of them" are a bunch of political manipulators. Their views are not shared by the majority of their cultural community. Everything got much simpler. F or an example , consider the case with the papal encyclical on eugenics.
— Yes, Sen Vlkov mentioned it.
Jella nodded and continued:
— In the aftermath , most individuals belonging to cultural communities were also cured from the " all of them " illusions . There were studies of the spectrum of opinions. Increasingly, the t eenagers are talking about the general Meganesian culture which has contributions from Europeans and Africans, Chinese and Indians, all ethnic groups, cultures , and religions, that were being mixed for over 200 years.
