First Question: I went with the stronger of the two restrictions here, because the weaker one leaves too much wiggle room for the gov't to mess with religion
Second sequestion: Oh the days of 2010 and going round and round with Libertas and then 2011 with Napoleon, on whether or not we should have a draft in case of absolute emergencies. I am inclined to think so, hence by vote here, but in 99.99999% of cases I oppose the draft.
Third Question: Once again going with the stronger of the two languages here. I would have liked to have seen the right to low potency explosives restored, but I will take what I can get. I mean what would the Feds be today without the use of "C4" (yes, that is not low potency, I know).
