| Message | In honor of the Neosocialists good will, i'll try to make my randomness less random. Each of these propositions is aimed towards eliminating the Jaywalker threat -Shooting all Jaywalkers who do not use crosswalks -Making sure there are more cars, so the Jaywalkers are run over -Making sure that people who run over Jaywalkers are not punished greatly in court As per usual, I am about as far from this bill in real life, but I just had this idea today and thought it would be funny. I was thinking of offering to enslave the Jaywalkers too, like the Tourists, but running them over and shooting them sounded funnier due to the redneck scenarios that would ensue. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
| Random quote: "Soldiers are not the enemies of the movement. They're potential allies. They're more than that. Soldiers are the only people in America who are paying a stiff price for this war. Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
