Here is the welcome speech from the site, as it gives a good idea of what we are aiming for at the S-8 site:
"Welcome to the Section Eights.
We are a peaceful organization established with one goal in mind; creating a better world for those of us who do not fit in this “modern society.” For too long, those who wish to live out a progressive existence in this world have suffered due to the collective mistakes of those around us. All that we have been able to do is stand by and accept the fact that we have no power. For years, people have said that “if everyone just does their part, we can make a difference.” This is far too passive of an approach! If we all just stand by and wait for people to “make a difference,” then nothing will get done. We must organize and unite in a singular direction of progress. It is our duty to ourselves, and future generations, to educate ourselves and examine that which needs improvement within our society. If this means that we can only do it on a small scale, at least it is a start. With enough momentum, and with enough people working toward the same goal, we CAN ultimately make a difference! The power of the government has been taken from the people, from the senator who doesn't bother to look over the bill he passes to the continued use of the electoral college in a day and age that requires not its implementation, and we must take that power back! The time is at hand where this world is ripe for change, but how it changes is in the hands of those individuals who are capable of effecting it. For this to happen, we must NOT bicker over all things trivial! Rather, we must first focus on the largest issues and work our way down... But let us save the rest of this speech for another day. For now, you must choose if you wish to join up in this cause. If so, feel free to register. Just keep in mind that, as with any organization, there are rules and regulations here. However! That does not mean that we are not open to suggestions, as that is exactly what this organization is all about. That having been said, welcome to the S-8. Your future has arrived.
