Message | Private cars are not allowed? Fishing not allowed? Why make such ridiculous bills, which will not even pass? |
Date | 20:42:00, March 16, 2009 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Sturm und Drang - Environmental Utopia Bill (ii) |
Message | People have consciences, and eyes of their own. We prefer to imagine that people, sooner or later, will become aware of the obvious truths, and that the kind of golden future we see for Likatonia will be embraced by all. But - at this stage - we don't need 'all' - just a majority. |
