I support this proposal.Okay, Badger isn't from Midwest, but it sounds like a Midwest law. Atlasia needs more Midwest mind.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I have deep reservations about this bill. Of course, it is easy to make a statement of hatred towards Hamilton and he is most certaintly derserving of such treatment and more, but I don't think it right or proper to establish the precedent, that the passage of this bill would set.

[Psychic Octopus]

The joke's gone on long enough.

[Marokai Backbeat]

The joke's gone on long enough.

Yes, poor him.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

The people of Atlasia last month clearly rejected Kalwejt's crude and juvenile approach to legislating at the ballot box.

I hope my fellow senators will respect their wishes by rejecting Kalwejt's demeaning proposal here.

Do you honestly care about this? I speak not out of concern, but out of tiredness. Hamilton this, Hamilton that. It was funny when the joke was first told. Now it is just old. What you guys are doing is turning him into a mythical figure. I mean honestly, people who weren't even members of Atlasia know who he is and crack jokes about him. Just let that chapter of Atlasian history die.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I don't particularly care, no. But what I don't like is people just trying to forget Hamilton ever existed and that people like you and Libertas were once upon a time deeply connected to the guy, and probably still are.

Whether this passes or fails I won't care either way. All that I find of note in this thread is the people defending him.

I'm not defending him. I'm just saying that it isn't worth it. You want to immortalize him, fine by me. You want to move on in the (increasingly boring) game, then fine by me as well.

I agree with NiK. This is getting old. We aren't acting any better than he did by doing stuff like this.

[Purple State]

For the record, I plan to veto this if it passes. It seems ill-advised to open old wounds and it is much more prudent for us to focus on current issues.

Well, nothing would make me more glad than putting that one in statute.

Well, there's always Midwest...

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I will start a vote on this tomorrow afternoon. May actually be tomorrow night.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Let it die, folks. No need to glorify him with a bill like this. It only will embolden him.

True enough.

But there IS precedent, Yank. Look at the IDS's Aaron Burr Day. Plus former SoIA Al made a nuclear waste dump out of Bakersfield, CA of all places. Besides, Hammy's detrimental effect on Atlasia is also without precedent. If anybody ever rises to that level of destructiveness, they'll have also earned such a unique ignominious result as national celebration of their banning.

The people of Atlasia last month clearly rejected Kalwejt's crude and juvenile approach to legislating at the ballot box.

"Demeaning"? To Hamilton??

Seriously, who would rise to the defense of somebody who so singlemindedly focused their personal shortcomings and misanthropy into conquering an on-line political sim, sought to rip Atlasia to pieces for their own jollies, and relies on sockpuppets to achieve their current goals?

Oh, wait.....

I support this proposal.Okay, Badger isn't from Midwest, but it sounds like a Midwest law. Atlasia needs more Midwest mind.

If by "Midwest mind" you mean "sense of humor", then exactamundo!

No need. Based on the points made by these two posts:

For the record, I plan to veto this if it passes. It seems ill-advised to open old wounds and it is much more prudent for us to focus on current issues.

Let it die, folks. No need to glorify him with a bill like this. It only will embolden him.

I'll withdraw the measure. Fun debate though. Good to finally get a little action back into this place.

Are you nuts? Let the vote continue, if action is what you seek.

Good point. But looking at the votes cast while I was composing my last two posts that seems redundant. Debate is over now, and this measure accomplished its goal of injecting some levity into the Senate chamber.

 Go ahead and pull it, Yank.

Actually, I can't and you can't withdraw it either.
