| Message | Mr. Speaker, We too share the view that the state should not be concerned in marriage and other aspects of people's lives, however, we feel that it should be made law to confirm that the government is willing to gurantee basic civil liberties. I yield. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
