Population control is working well. The problem with it however is that the naz... government needs to convince the old to keep smoking while the young black eyed Chinese stop. That way the population balance can continue and the super race can begin. We must head east into lebensJapan. We have ended religion, the following of any other groups, systems or ideals and the people are complicit and complacent nationalists, the time to strike is now! Siek hail! Siek hail! Siek hail!
