| Message | This is starting to look like a very bad day for Likatonia. The current pattern of voting seems to suggest we are about to bankrupt our farmers, throw our elderly to the wolves, place our children in the hands of money-changers, sell our environment to the highest bidder, and remove any assurances of a continuous power supply.... ALL in one fell swoop. AMA is PROUD to oppose, and honoured to stand alongside the AM SLP and Likaton Front, in being the last vanguard in an undeclared war BY government profiteers, AGAINST the people of Likatonia. |
