Yeah, that's pretty screwed up. Time to grab your guns and take to the streets.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Well, they "took our guns" about 100 years before I was born.

"No," some of you said, "you crazy Americans are paranoid. You never let your government do anything out of fear that they'll try to suppress you. Just look at our non-evil governments to see how crazy you are." Well, for the record? Told. You. So.

In any case, I don't see how anyone plans to stop a massive bill like this through petition. All they have to do is ignore you.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

We really should make a blacklist of every politician guilty of such treason, and conscientiously keep them out of politic by never voting for them again.

In bug news, the zombies in a necromancer's tower became suspicious after the necromancer failed to age and he fled into the hills.

Anyway, I really hope that Nikov is joking... but then it is irony!!! on his own political view?

Pestering your MP about stuff at least puts it in their minds for a couple of seconds. And if you get a lot of people pestering then they might just take it to parliament.

But, since we're such a reasonable country our politicians evidently know what is best for us.
