I'll come right out and say that I don't want to seem unappreciative of New York Senator, Robert Mulligan's statements. I understand that it means a lot, from a political standpoint for him to come out in favour of protecting mutants, our interests and our rights, but I'm also moved to make a few things very clear.
What we don't need, and don't want, is someone else telling us that we
deserve rights, because quite frankly, it should be a no-brainer. We are here, we exist, and we have been doing whatever we can to help society in every way that we are capable.
Senator Robert Mulligan's time would, I think, be better spent supporting the efforts that we have already made towards human and mutant equality, instead of deciding he has the authority to decide what we need for us. Because we've been at this a lot longer, and we've been working a lot harder -- without the political motivation to stay relevant or gain individual publicity.
So from where I'm standing, it's difficult not to question his sincerity and his devotion to these theoretical rights he seems so keen on preaching about.
