Description[?]:
| I. Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia? Nihilne te nocturnum praesidium Palati, nihil urbis vigiliae, nihil timor populi, nihil concursus bonorum omnium, nihil hic munitissimus habendi senatus locus, nihil horum ora voltusque moverunt? Patere tua consilia non sentis, constrictam iam horum omnium scientia teneri coniurationem tuam non vides? Quid proxima, quid superiore nocte egeris, ubi fueris, quos convocaveris, quid consilii ceperis, quem nostrum ignorare arbitraris? II. O tempora, o mores! Senatus haec intellegit. Consul videt; hic tamen vivit. Vivit? immo vero etiam in senatum venit, fit publici consilii particeps, notat et designat oculis ad caedem unum quemque nostrum. Nos autem fortes viri satis facere rei publicae videmur, si istius furorem ac tela vitemus. Ad mortem te, Catilina, duci iussu consulis iam pridem oportebat, in te conferri pestem, quam tu in nos omnes iam diu machinaris. |

| Date | 15:17:13, October 02, 2005 CET | From | none | To | Debating the Lex Omnium Secundum, In Rem Publicam et contra Diabolum |
| Message | Article 1: This will be very detrimental to the Medical industry (the one that saves all those innocent lives every year) Article 2: "nothing is more horrible than being forced to live against your will." - Not badly said. Article 3: Gated communities are highly dangerous for society and urban centers. Article 4: But what if they have dependants to house and feed or medical issues for themselves or others?Article 5: Why force people to continue working when we already have high unemployment? |

| Message | We don't have high employment everywhere. In some commonwealths, it is over 5%. Even 5% is very high. |

| Message | KIP, I said we had high *unemployment not employment. Forcing people to work longer would mean less jobs. This would be bad for people who need jobs and raises unemployment. |

| Random fact: Real-life organisations should not be referenced in Particracy, unless they are simple and generic (eg. "National Organisation for Women" is allowed). |
| Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
