| Message | The only article that I support here is the curfew one. The library, fire dep, and shelter I am against because I think that these aspects should be left for the locals to decide for themselves and also because the federal Government has othere more important things to do than waste its time on such issues. About the monarchy, I think that the Emperor election adds a fun feature to this game and should not be abolished. Also, I am against this because the CPD's most noble leader Bill Gates has a secret (not anymore) love affair with Empress Sylvia. ;-) |

| Message | Well, considering Sylvia had at least two of her fellow political big wigs, I think Sylvia is the one who is the "playa." Besides, you never know what her and former Empress Martina have done behidn closed doors ;) |
