| Message | "Who could possibly believe these previsions are necessary or even make a lick of sense? Jack Spears might as well resign. By deregulating everything, he's put himself out of the job! I suppose he wont, though, even if he doesn't have any real duties to perform after this. He would like to collect that Presidential pay check, after all!" -Warrick Borov Technocratic Chairman of the People's Commonwealth Party |
