A Message from Sonic
Huh, alright guys, we're gonna have something a little different today. Namely, I'm going to have a guest post here written by none other than Sonic himself.
Sonic's been seeing and hearing comments about himself while running around, and feels that my blog is the best way to respond to them for now, at least until an interview on some talk show or something like that happens. So, here's what he has to say, after the break below. Hope you like it!
Hey, guys, it's me. Yep, I'm actually typing something on the computer! I know, it seems weird to be amazed by this, but it's not really something I've done often.
So why am I doing this all of a sudden? Well, you see, I've been hearing some people say certain things about me that I, uh, disagree with, and somehow I didn't really know how to answer while in public, so I've resorted to this method for the time being.
OK, basically, I've been hearing from a few people out there that think my intervention in Shamar and pulling the president out of his hiding hole two weeks ago happened because I was told to do so by the US government, in order to cut through all of the international bickering over whether other countries should go in there to help or not. All while people were getting slaughtered by the thousands there.
Then, this somehow got expanded into accusations that because I now have US citizenship, I'm a government agent or even secret military science project or something, and that I'm being used as a tool for global dominance, for imperialism. And they cite what's happening in both Shamar and Adabat now as proof that Washington is taking over those countries.
I just…I don't even know what to say to that. I have the ability to go and directly help suffering people, victims of war, victims of hunger, etc, without needing to deal with the hassle of transport. Shouldn't I use my powers to do something? I mean, I can't just keep running and pass by those people. I've already made the mistake of doing exactly that in the past, and paid a heavy price for it. Why do you think I have to fight Robotnik?
No, really, I thought it was a given that trying to help out others, to protect them for harm, was something that people naturally do. Instead I get hit by these conspiracy theories? Why? What's with all this suspicion and cynicism towards each other?
OK, I'm probably overreacting. I'm making it sound like there are more people out there that are saying this than there actually are, but I just had to get that out of me. I'm sorry. It's just…I don't see what I have done on Earth that I have to regret thus far. I just want to make the best out of the worst in the areas that need help.
I really can't see people out there get killed senselessly. I won't. I know it sometimes means that a not-so-nice government takes over, but I don't know what more can I do about that. Actually, I'm even open to suggestions about that. You could say something about what else I could do when I go to these places about the government, and I'll try to consider.
I do none of this for any government. That's the shortest way I will put it. I can even go and help out in those areas many say are ignored by the US if you want me to prove it. Although at the moment I'm a little pre-occupied with Africa. I'll probably head there next.
Alright, I think I'm done. Again, sorry for the rant. I hope the next time I talk to you guys again will be a lot happier than this. So, ciao!
