| Message | Yeah, I know. I'm having fun and taking on a Totalitarian bent now, seeing what that'll do to my election percentage. I'm still pretty liberal on civil liberties, only because I would be mad at myself if I voted against some of them. But I can have fun an attempt to take away democracy and set up a large, omni-present government, that might be fun. One that allows people to do almost anything, except have political freedoms. Like a Benevolent Dictatorship. :P |
