You should consider investing in some Caldari corporations, Pieter. There are always little corporate minnows flitting between the lumbering great sharks of the megacorps. Second Start, Universal NeoTech, PsySpace, New Caldari Engineering, The Biome Project... The little guys that nobody's ever heard of are still doing good work and who knows? With your help they could be major players on day
To small planetary or civilian corporations like those, the kind of financial resources a capsuleer can bring to bear can make a huge difference. A few wise investements, a share or two, it all goes a long way, and you're directly contributing to the prosperity of the State and the well-being of its citizens.
Or you could donate to a shareholder syndicate and have a say in policy at the larger corporate or megacorporate level. All without noticeably denting your ISK reserves.
Or you could buy a sports team. Good money to be made there. An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738

Peace isn't a unilateral process. You'll achieve it faster by extending the olive branch yourself, rather than by waiting for the other side to extend their own. Sure, it takes some courage to do so when there's a real possibility that they'll take the branch and then beat you with it, but as far as know, the feeling that courage is something to be admired is quite a widespread one in all cultures.

True enough, Jace. If I thought militia service was worth a damn, I'd be involved myself. An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738

It's a simple fact of Caldari law - any system currently occupied by the Caldari State is, legally speaking, the property of the Caldari State and all planetary resources and real estate within that system may be bid for in whole or piecemeal by Caldari corporations.
The important thing to remember is that the Megacorps are amoral first, moral if they can manage it and it won't cut unacceptably deep into their bottom line. They're not out for a cause or a creed, not even Meritocracy. They're out to turn a profit, and will do everything they legally can and, often, whatever the illegally can get away with without regard specifically for morality. This is true of ALL of them, without exception, no matter what glowing things the Scope might have to say about "nice guy" Ishukone.
The reason I have so much respect for the Mens Reppola administration of Ishukone is that he and his board have somehow managed to build a working business model out of doing the right thing for a price, hence the Intaki and Homeworld contracts and whatever the hell it was that happened with Insorum. I don't think anybody's got to the bottom of that one yet. There's a reason that the Napanii word for "charitable" is euphemistically used to mean "Idiotic".

I hope that's not entirely accurate. I like to think there's more holding us together than one planet, no matter how important that planet might be. An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738

I'd actually recommend heading down there sometime. I was privileged to be able to visit the Kaalakiotas before a titan fell on them, but there's plenty more places on Home that are worth the visit. It's a big planet. Even if you're not a spiritual person, it's nice to feel some kind of connection to the place.

oddly enough, that "cuddly wuvvy bear pit" she mentioned was an idea she adopted when I described one of the more esoteric torture methods used by the Amarr. Apparently she enjoys it. An in-character blog and a video: http://verinsjournal.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu1mbsgo738

The original objective - which I suspect remains - was to colonise and exploit it as the fourth sovereign region of the Caldari State.
Given that CONCORD seemed to consider the State's claim to that region valid enough to accept it as our sacrifice into the CEMWPA, I don't see why that objective would change. Black Rise belongs to the Caldari, no matter what the current front lines of the cereal box war say.
