| Message | OOC: Actually, I'm right: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bear http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bare Also, this bill has no articles in the 'proposals' section and therefore no effect. Use the "add a proposal" button after you have written a bill ;) IC: We are appalled at the lack of curtesy in denying debate about this proposal. We also find it unfortunate that no actual laws have been attached to this bill. We do, however, still disagree with the content of the statement. |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
