| Message | Well this sounds like the type of thing that Terrorist sympathisers would say. I think you all know where the KLD or DLK sits on this issue. If it wasn't for the Justice Dept searching suspicious letters and packages this country would be at a worse position. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
