| Message | Mr. Speaker, We have had recent discussions about nuclear weapons. While this is not our official position, nuclear weapons appear to have a use in potentially mitigating an asteroid impact on Terra. Outlandish, but we must consider all options when our survival is at stake. Nevertheless, this bill is a positive direction for a peaceful and less destructive world - we will support it. - Pete Thompsett Ambassador of the Ataraxian Confederation |
