Description[?]:
| For those who are left behind by the Superior Citizenship Act, this bill strives to provide that segment of the population with just the right tools for entertaining and catastrophic personal mishaps. Not only will these folks have a great deal of fun in their last moments, the resulting self-inflicted mayhem will remove a troublesome portion of the populace, revitalize the health care sector with new customers, and provide glee to the rest of the observing citizenry. To those who realize the folly of mixing alcohol, weapons, and pet wolves, this bill need not apply. |

| Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
