Bill: Anti-Crime Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Al'Badaran Conservative Party
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: April 2165
Description[?]:
Crime has reached ridiculously high levels in many parts of the country, effectively hampring the economy and our citizen's daily lives. Therefore I propose enacting laws to fight this, and put a lid on crime. Some of the measures, I admit, may be extreme. But desperate times call for desperate measures; when crime levels have dropped back to more reasonable levels, then we can consider other ways to act. But now, gentlemen, our nation demands that pursue every low-life gangster, murderer and theif and serve them justice. Curfew starts one hour after the end of the business day |

Message | As I said, desperate times call for desperate measures, crime is soaring at the moment and a stand must be made against it. Once we have a foothold on the situation we will support the restoration of much more benevolent means of keeping the peace. |

Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
