Bill: The Old Ways Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Revolutionary Constit'nal United Front
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: December 2616
Description[?]:
| The disease of Imperialism, Monarchism and Aristocracy is a product of "modernization". It must be exterminated by the Lord God and the Mortal Hand that Dares Raise up its Hand against the Devil Technologies. Let us smash the technologies that corrupt our minds. Shall we risk breaking the Ethereal Firmament by firing Rockets into its Glassy Structure? Shall we risk having all Air and Breathable Gases, escape from our Protective Globe through a Hole poked by a Rocket Tip? Shall we view the Boxes of Satan that corrupt and Encourage Paganism and Royalism? Shall we not Wipe the Scourge of Socialist Propaganda (i.e. the "inter-net") and Royalist Lies? Shall we not rise up to Smash the Villainy that has Brainwashed Good Upstanding Jelbanians? No, we say! |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
