| Message | We see no purpose to Article 1, Article 2 destroys the lumber industry, Article 3 prohibits the possibilty to prevent famine, Article 4 will end a great tradition of Telamon and lead to over populating, and Article 5 puts the safety of rabbits ahead of diseased Telamonians. Another great proposal by the totalitarian communists in the DLF. |
