I admire your optimistic outlook. Don't you think they'll just invent some new slur, though?

voice;

[senatorinspace]

Of course they will, or they'll stick with the old one behind closed doors. The difference is that it won't be a government sanctioned slur.

It's no more than regular Couscanti citizens are expected to have on file, besides from asking for one's political position on the war. I wasn't aware that would even be on the form until it was already ratified.

That's where all the violation comes in. Who's to say that information won't be used against us?

We're gaining new allies slowly but surely. I have a feeling this bill will pass in our favor.

[YES? NO? MAYBE? Well you could work harder geez X( ]

[LOOK HE DOES VERY IMPORTANT THINGS WHILE SITTING ON HIS ASS.]

True. Well, here's hoping this takes. It's a good step forward.

voice;

[senatorinspace]

voice;

[freevoicing]

A reporter, huh? Nice to see a few Outworlders landing those jobs in the media. Can't hurt things, that's for sure.
