| Message | Our only significant problem is with article one, but if this passes we will re-propose that anyway. We will support, despite the stupid way this bill was put together. OOC: I didn't think I'd find anyone who'd make a more incompetent party than the Bush administration, but I think the EP (or whatever they're called by the time anyone reads this) proved me wrong :O |
