Description[?]:
| "Mr. Speaker, The cultural sphere must remain free of government interference. I get that some establishment politicians may be concerned of the refugee of masculinity and conservative values that video serves as in our age and day, and that others seek to protect the indefensible intellectual property of big business. But that doesn't make any of that right or justifiable in a modern, free democratic country." Luna Ĥaregiselido GLP Headmistress |
