Socrates Must Be Silenced

Romas (a Moderate Democrat) writes:

My fellow Athenian, We are here to make Athens more magnificent and successful by discussing laws which can make our future splendid, a future which can only be seen from democracy. Democracy helps people think about themselve, in the new ways which cannot be think if they are in control of other.  Athens democracy is alive with ideas on how to understand the world through art and how to make money through trade.

Young people need to learn this truth, the truth of Athens.

But one person in particular has neglected the idea of the democracy. 

He is a little man named Socrates. His ideas and philosophy about democracy are dangerous to Athenian democracy. He is even more dangerous because he has infected mind of our young ones with his ideas. He has formed an idea about one leader government to replace Athenian democracy, that one leader government is ruled by selective elite (whom he named “philosopher kings”). As a result of his attitude toward democracy, he has corrupted the minds of the youth of Athens. Critias, leader of the Thirty Tyrants, was one of his pupils and Alcibiades who helped Spartan in battle of Sicily was also one of his pupils, who shared one idea of utopia society. That idea of utopia has started this situation in Athens.

Socrates must be silenced. As a punishment I say,he must be exiled from Athens for life. But some of my fellow Athenians may say, we should put him death as a punishment. However, history has witness from beginning to end that peace can’t be secure from violence. Moreover, death is just an easy punishment for him destroying Athens. He must live his life knowing that he was one who destroyed peace of our glorious Athens. So I vote for exiling Socrates for our future, for our democracy, for our young ones.
