| Message | The Ars Moriendi party will not initiate violence, but will respond in kind. We remind the AMPfS of two items: 1 - due to mandatory universal conscription, every adult of legal age in this nation is a trained soldier 2 - for every adult of legal age that voted for AMPfS, more than twice as many voted for the Ars Moriendi Party. We invite you to do the math. |
