| Message | Regrettably it will. Unfortunately a bill imposing this odious restriction was passed some years ago thanks to the departure of a party from the Assembly, giving the authoritarians a momentary two-thirds majority. It was during the dark times of the nation, which we have yet to escape fully. |

| Message | Ah we remember that glorious heyday well, when the bloodsucking commies and scientology freaks were gone and the possibility of Paradise was just around the corner. Then all of you filthy money-grubbing capitalist pig-dogs had to fuck it up! |
