I'm flattered that the SFP has become the widespread topic of debate. The People should be suspicious of anyone that approaches their liberties. Therefore, I've put together a list of my intentions. I hope this will ease some of your inhibitions:
Step #1. Try to be informative and entertaining.
Step #2. Find out, in what is everyone interested. Become involved in those interests.
Step #3. Make a marriage proposal to Liberty.

*P.Q.*
As darkness settled, I could see the silhouette of a city against a blazing background.
On the command of men wearing fancy hats, hundreds of men charged into a barrage of gunfire.
Although, I was familiar with this part of the ritual of death and rebirth, I knew that I wasn't part of that.
Now, I was among the earth's most humble creatures. The wilderness released it's wild animals. I could taste the earth, but I knew I was not part of that.
I pleaded for an audience, with the gods, but I received no reply.
One day, I decided to climb the divine mountain.
Atop, sits an abomination. The truth is too horrible to hear.
I knew I was not part of that.
In horror, I leaped from the mountain.
At the last moment, I grabbed a tree limb and held on for my life. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice saying, "Let Go, man."

A procession of morning comrades, followed me to the compost heap. I had lain P.Q. across the compost heap and I was trying to stand, but PQ had me by the collar. Then, I noticed he was gasping for air. (I nearly shit my pants)

Hello, I'm Llama Vanderbooben. This is the Loose Cannon. We are bringing you the story as it unfolds.
Our Political Correspondent; Richard Cranium has the story. Dick; What's going on out there?
*Richard*
Well, it appears that the congressional leadership has proposed a dictatorship. A proposal that would render congress, itself, useless.
Why it was done is still a hot topic for debate. More to come.
*Lana*
thank you, Dick.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress.
Grab a Pen and Paper. Help us write the People's History.

I think this article sums up the way I felt when I heard the announcement.
Bravo, good read!
Thanks!
It wasn't as good as it would have been, because I was getting distracted by the debates. I decided to use that, in the story.
Nice article
Is it possible our Phoenix will rise from the ashes?
It is impossible to find a virgin these days, so I will sacrifice a goat to the gods.
Rise Phoenix Quinn from the ashes, we sacrifice this goat in your honor;
Bring us strength in these dark days of despair so that we may: Stand Firm.
Who do you think is going to admit to being a virgin if you're just going to go around sacrificing them?
Would you believe that I own a secret divining rod that points at them?
hmmmm...Can I assume this "secret diving rod" points at all virgins, and not just 50% of them, being you're a comrade in our inclusive party and all? 😉
But ofc it points at all virgins, it doesn't discriminate against half the a group....
Great read GoTJ!
