everal major city streets were clogged with bicycles this morning, as the environmental group 'Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Bad' staged a protest. Several hundred riders ambled through downtown streets, blissfully ignoring the torrent of abuse hurled at them by thousands of motorists running late for work.
The Debate
1. "People are sick of dirty, smelly automobiles," said protest organizer Bianca Hanover. "They're choking the city, the environment--our lives! Cars must be banned!"
[Accept]
2. "The only thing people are sick of is long-haired idiots riding their bicycles at two miles an hour on major thoroughfares," says committed motorist Tobias Johnson. "People shouldn't be able to protest like this. The government needs to crack down on them."
[Accept]
3. The Automotive Manufacturers Association, meanwhile, has called for government support. "It's clear that we need to boost the level of automobile support in this country. This protest this morning is a clear indication of... um... anyway, we need more government funds."
[Accept]
I'd guess whoever wrote this issue lives in San Francisco, where this sort of thing happens from time to time.

I'd guess whoever wrote this issue lives in San Francisco, where this sort of thing happens from time to time.
Funny you mention that, since I just looked up Critical Mass on wiki a few days ago. Although SF gets a lot of publicity for its protests, it also occurs in Chicago, NY, London, Minneapolis, Lithuania, New Haven, and other places.
One notable exception in the article? Los Angeles. Which just goes to show if you sprawl the city enough, it's hard to get a bunch of bikers together.
The Issue
A loose coalition of sartorially-challenged individuals known as "Let It All Hang Out" has called on the government to relax public nudity laws.
The Debate
"For too long, our bodies have been trapped in these prisons of cotton and polyester!" yelled protester Charles Love, while apparently developing a nasty case of sunburn. "We must repeal the puritanical laws that make public nudity a crime. My body--my choice to dangle!"
[Accept]
"I agree," mused sociology professor Larry Barry. "But I don't think the protestors are going far enough. Public nudity shouldn't be an option: it should be compulsory. Nudity is highly liberating. And it would put that disgusting "Hooters" out of business once and for all."
[Accept]
"Whoa, whoa," says noted accountant Akira Bush. "Are these people serious? The last thing I want to see when I'm out for a coffee is some lumbering, over-weight nudist coming down the sidewalk toward me. If people want to get naked, they can do it in the privacy of their own homes. Think of the children!"
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
The Issue
A group of emergency room doctors has petitioned the government to introduce mandatory organ donations.
The Debate
"It's not as crazy as it sounds," says Dr. Larry Winters. "Every day, people die because we don't have the organs to save them. Well, that and widespread under-funding of the health system. But the point is, if the government allowed us to take organs from dead people, we could save hundreds of lives a year. And come on, it's not like dead people need them."
[Accept]
"You keep your damn hands off my organs!" says alarmed hospital patient Miranda Barry. "They are my organs, and I'll do with them what I like. The government has no right to my body."
I really think some medics can "acelerate" a organ "donation" for someody with money. I will not let that happen. For that we can made clones in my Kingdom.
1. "These are turbulent times we live in," says Defense Chief Calvin Wong. "Turbulent and dangerous. And the only sensible response to that, of course, is to build a lot more weapons. Unless we get the funding we need, I can't promise that we'll be able to defend Scordrag's sovereign borders from rogue nations and foreign powers. Or those leaky boatloads of refugees, for that matter."
[Accept]
2. "NO MORE BOMBS," chant the protestors outside Parliament House, in a repetitious and increasingly annoying appeal. Spokesperson Violet Silk, speaking through a feedback-afflicted microphone, says, "Scordrag needs fewer weapons, not more! Make the world a safer place! Disarm now!"
[Accept]
Going for dismissal. I don't need more or less

Ah, given my place in the top ten largest defense forces, my nation of drug-addled hippies apparently also fields a massive army. That, given my outlawing of cars, must travel by bike. Gaze upon my horde of velocipede-mounted beatniks and tremble!

Okay, in saying that while it was okay for us to raise animals for food, we should do so humanely, I somehow turned my nation into vegetarians.
I now have the issue of whether or not to let people eat our national bird and I have no clue which one is going to screw up the nation the most.
you see? I not let to my people eat horses. the next question was if I let them eat chicken. well I say yes. something they have to eat or they will go down 1 step in the chain food.
