| Message | It seems rather strange that in a religious bill the Traditional Republicans also wish to force Luthorians to donate their organs, remove all regulations on the quality of water and the use of pesticides, discourage tree plantation, nationalise all banks, end the creation of public parks, and dissolve our professional armed forces. |
