| Message | We propose these changes. Chemical and biological weapons are the weapons of tyrants and conquerers and I do not think we are either. We have no business interefering with other countries and so I propose we limit the powers of our intelligence service. While we can understand the need for a nuclear deterrent we feel it should be limited to retaliating for nuclear attacks only. |
