    The vehicle issue is bad enough, but still persecuting marijuana in this day and age is just as bad. Just legalize it, boost our exports as this calms the users in Guada particularly.

      You think Zorgoyon playing? Salisbury is now one of the most economically depressed villages in DA as a direct result of the actions of this Labor Party. The people of Salisbury never had to resort to these behaviors before. A really sad state of affairs.

    So how did Dale Smith figure he would have gotten away with that one? This guy is not very bright.
