Bill: Tiefökologie Domäne Partei Antrag zur Geschäftsordnung (viii)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Commonwealth Workers Army
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2495
Description[?]:
| We suggest the removal of tax burdens on religions as a step towards total abolition of ALL taxation. Cross-dressing and obscenity may be issues that vary from place to place. One palce might be a bastion of rigid dress codes, one might have a freer fashion. One place might think holding hands obscene, another might have no problem with full intercourse on park benches. Let each place decide, according to their local custom. There is no point forcing someone to do something they hate. It is not constructive. Thus - for those who detest schooling, we suggest allowing them to opt out. Regarding cloning - it is an abomination. It is yet another step in the human reliance on technology. First with the domestication and the enclosure... then with the immunisation and the antibiotics... now with a new frontier. Humans are a degraded species. Let us reclaim our birth-right. |
