| Message | (OK, i'm willing to go along with a non-human liberation concept. Too funny to pass up!) The UPU welcomes the Union of Progressive Llamas and the extension of rights to all God's creatures. We are confident that the vast majority of non-human sentients are good Muslims who recognize that there is only one God and Mohammad (pbuh) is His Prophet. The proposals attached to this bill will need some consideration, but we are certain the Porgressive Llamas have the best interests of the Sultanate at heart. Who can fail to thrill to the poetic strains of their party manifesto: "Llama Llama / Llama Llama Llama / Llama" |
