Message | His Holiness Phineas Palaeologus, Ecumenical Patriarch of Pabeus "...We cannot allow publication of obscene or morally questionable materials. Nor can we allow the release of information that could, if fallen into the wrong hands, compromise the integrity of the state. The state's sole moral responsibility is to protect it's citizens, and it can't do that if it allows harmful publications to run rampant... ..Therefore, we vote NO on this proposal..." |
