Another, unanimously elected, leader dead in the streets. Are we facing a new dark ages in the streets? The streets will soon to be devoid of any real journalist and overrun with rabid dogs, trolls, and worst of all, inactivity. 

Such a sad thing to see. So many negative people in this world. 

Tutte why can't you just leave these poor people alone? Why are you such a bully all the time? 

Tutte you've been coming out to all these speeches yelling about wasting time and how there are so many better things to do. That sounds like a lot of negativity. 

Clearly you aren't interested in street politics and that's fine. Nobody is telling you to participate. But to many of the young children out there looking up to us, the LOTS ELECTION is a sacred and important subject.

Wellerman removes his own large sign and hammers it into the ground. 

If you aren't investing in the future of the streets then we have nothing further to speak about. 

This is the only truth that matters to me. 

We don't need a leader of the streets. THIS IS ALL JUST BULLSHIT. This is just a wanna bes who are full of themselves. They get off on hearing themselves talk.

The streets are for everyone and NO ONE should think they are a leader of them. WHY? Because they aren't.

You're right Adonna. We don't need leaders of families, or leaders of industry either.

Leader of the country? GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. I'm sure we can get by without any input or direction. 

Wellerman sighs.

I don't even know why I'm out here arguing with dogs. This is what things have come to... 

If you are going to argue with me, at least try to stay on topic. I know it's difficult but you should at least try.

i said leader of the streets not families or industry or of the Country.  The streets have survived over a decade without a leader. It can continue without one.

FUCK, THAT IS BRILLIANT(!) THAT IS INSPIRED(!) WHAT SAUCE(!) GET IN(!) IT'S THE LEADER OF THE STREETS, STEW-POT! FUCK(!) What I really need to do is shoot you all in the back of the head. — FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! — but I can't, because it's ILLEGAL(!)

All joking aside, right? Self-appointed leaders of nothing get shot, like the useless cunt that they were!
I'm sure 4 more wank stains will pop out of Jimmy Savile pants, like a fucking hydra, vomiting the same rhetoric.

You’re spending a decent amount of time here, Wellerman, without actually saying anything.

Do you have useful suggestions for investing in the future of the streets or are you going to keep stirring the pot without offering anything substantial? You guys talk a lot about a “leader of the streets”, but what exactly is that? None of you have been able to even give an answer on that one.

If you’re so dead set on having one, whatever it is, why don’t you do it? 

"so dead set on having one"

"DEADSET" I read about a guy called Deadset... He was friends with a chump named Douglas_MacArthur.  Someone killed Doug.

Sad story all round. 

So…once again, LiquidFarehamJr, not bringing anything of any value to the conversation.

What is the “leader of the streets” supposed to do? If it is so important and you keep pushing for it, why don’t you take up the made up mantle?

Is it because it means nothing and that’s how you make yourself relevant?

As far as I’ve seen, no one else pays any attention to you other wise. Might explain why you keep trying to get my attention.

I will admit that you are quite the conundrum, LiquidFarehamJr. There are times when you act like a normal person and then there are times when you just start sprouting from the mouth all through my messages.

It might not hurt to speak with a professional about your obsessions.

You seem stuck on them.

Instead of moving on and living a fun and fruitful life, you seem locked in the past, trying to grab on to someone just to make yourself important.

Can you not form your own opinion? Your own thoughts?

Unfortunately, that also applies to Wellerman.

I want to like the guy, respect him. We’re in the same city together but sadly, every time that he opens his mouth…

it just makes me sad.

I don’t fully understand it.

It’s a stand-up family, a family that I would absolutely trust with my life, but this…bad apple, will ruin the whole barrel.

Someone who isn’t worth the hassle.

There really isn’t anything more to it as is.

A Leader of the Streets:

Sends money to people

Hosts competitions

Awards prizes (to entrants)

Encourages writers, and journalists 

Hosts quizs 

Occasionally shoots people (under certain legitimate circumstances)

Calls for, hosts, and adjudicates on, sitdowns 

You spend a lot of time taking about this, LiquidFarehamJr, about having a “Leader of the streets”, you just listed the requirements, and yet you won’t do it yourself?

Hell, you sent me a personal message that you have 600 million in the bank, surely you could fund this fantasy of yours. And yet, you don’t. You stir the pot just like every other Kuku. You’re an agent of chaos just like the rest.

Do better.

Or at least be interesting.

A bad apple? Me? 

Wellerman's eyes begin to well up. Your harsh words have struck me to the core. I will have to reach out to Stiffler and apologize for the completely terrible job I am doing over here as his... Wellerman checks his nametag. Boss and... Looks down again. One of the most active speakers in the city. 

But again, you're right. Maybe they need to de-core me to save the bunch. Just leave me out in the cold as you've done. I'm sure the squirrels will claim me soon. 

You best get back to your buddies at the Police Station. I'm sure they could use a tip. Just leave us to our rotting. 

I mean, if you really want to play the rank card, Wellerman, pretty sure that my name tag is above yours.

You can be an active street speaker, but that doesn’t mean that you actually say anything. You like to stir the pot without offering anything substantial to the conversation.

You keep yelling about people not stepping up, why don’t you step up to “lead the streets”?

I get it, I’m a bad person for leaving a contract or an unemployed BG for anyone to grab. Such a dick move, right? I shouldn’t be giving out free things, my bad.

You are completely correct and I should apologize. It is wonderful you were able to progress so far. You know we're all so proud of your accomplishments and all the good things you do for the city. 

And you are right. I retract all previous statements. I do not think we need a leader of the streets. The idea is dumb and anyone who further participates in such dumb things should be branded as such. I think it is best we all move past this and forget about it. 

I am of course saying this on my own merit and in no way was I paid off. The Leader of the Streets and anything related are bad. 

Wellerman - I demand that you retract your retraction 

It would take an even larger bribe act of God to make me retract my retraction! These are very real convictions that I know hold near and dear to me. 

In the history of this community, have there been two more destructive forces opposed to the existence of The Streets than JamesBaxter and Tutte? Two more effective undertakers of our once proud tradition of public discourse? I don't think so. They seem like the kind of people who would order muesli at an Italian restaurant.
