| Message | ouch, I can accept article 1 but that's it. You seem to want suffering on many levels with little gain for the government. You support abortion but are against giving condoms. From one right wing party to another I cannot understand why you would want to lift the laws of alcohol when people are so much more productive sober. As for the last one, I can see the gain in getting more work out of everyone, but again with the efficiency. This is a time of extreme muscle and mental deterioration, unless strongly monitered by a health system. The chance of having alzheimer's doubles every 5 years starting at about the age of 70, and I see it as futile and extremely dangerous to everyone for a victim of this disease to work in most places. |
