| Message | No to all. None of these bills make any economic sense. Your bill descriptor doesn't cover 2 out of the 3 articles and you provide no reasoning behind anything you've proposed. And, just to be nitpicky, as the MSPoH would like to introduce home schooling, would that not be private schooling so thus changing this law would automatically stop them from passing a home school law? |

| Random fact: Moderation will not approve a Cultural Protocol request within the first 48 hours of it being requested. This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval. |
| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
