Description[?]:
| The Pontesian can think, select and decide for his or her respective self. We are spending too much on services that would be better served by bodies that do not have to create the laws of this land. We are a body of order, not of complete control of all people. We are a body for business, not of complete control of all industry. We are a government, not a complete solution to encourage the propagation and survival of those who do not work for their keep. The populace have had their own mothers to nurture them and a fatherland there to guide. No legislation passed here should prevent the lesson of responsibility for self being passed on to generations. Paperwork teats provide no milk. |
