Details
Submitted by[?]: Red Vanguard Dominion
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 3342
Description[?]:
| ECOLOGY Is a falsehood, a clever lie imposed upon the populace by those masquerading capitalists and corporatists studying cybernetics and imposing their machine minds upon our man's world. WE OWN NATURE We need not revere it. We need not protect it. We shall wield it. We shall mold it. IT BELONGS TO US Through our strength of will. ONCE WE GAZED UPON ELECTRICITY We lost interest in Nature. Too slow. WE ARE SUPERIOR. From the heights of skyscrapers we gaze at nature's insignificance! |
