I've been thinking a lot about the political nature of bimbolands and how we can all help move this idea forward. I think, in general, it is difficult to discuss because the government of bimbolands doesn't have a huge impact on bimbo's lives the way governments do in the real world. We don't have taxes here, or have to worry about funding education, emergency services, social services etc. It's hard to debate the merits of something when you can't see it played out. Reasonopia fits in to a broadly conservative mold. I think we can expand on that by developing a state constitution. I have a write up that needs more effort but to get some feedback, start the conversation, and make it manageable, I'll share a bit here:
Article I – Bill of Rights
Section 1. That all bimbos are
by nature equally free and independent and have certain inherent rights, of
which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact,
deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty,
with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining
happiness and safety.
Section
2. That all power is vested in, and consequently derived from, the bimbo
people; that magistrates are their trustees and servants and at all times
amenable to them.
Section
3. That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit,
protection, and security of the bimbo people, nation, or community; of all the
various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of
producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety and is most effectually
secured against the danger of maladministration. And that, when any government
shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the
community has an indubitable, inalienable, and indefeasible right to reform,
alter, or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the
public weal.
Section
4. That no bimbo or bimbos, is entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or
privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which,
not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator, or
judge to be hereditary.
Section
5. That the legislative and executive powers of the state should be separate
and distinct from the judiciary; and that the members of the two first may be
restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the burdens of the
people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return
into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be
supplied by frequent, certain, and regular elections, in which all, or any part,
of the former members, to be again eligible, or ineligible, as the laws shall
direct.
