Message | There are no innocent people on Terra, so it is impossible to send an innocent person to the chair. Plus, won't your god help you out if you are put to death? How's that worker's strike going? Your workers haven't worked in about nine years, but they are still going strong huh? What an economic force they must be that they have been striking for nearly a decade and our economy is still going strong. What a great workers union. Can I join? I want to not work for the next decade too. Then I will blame it on the government that I don't have a job. Good plan. Really super. |

Message | The economy has collapsed and the workers survive by planting their own food gardens and donations from supporters in other countries. Plus, the union is wavering over its continuing the strike. |
