| Message | What motivation do Telamonians have for producing creative works if they can not earn a living off them and do not get credit? These proposals will lead to zero inovation. And as always: In accordance with the Pledge of July 2258, we vote against this piece of legislation proposed by fasco-communists who conspire against the core ideals of Telamon. |
