Royal Council Minus One Issue Wanted Poster For Constitutional Lawyer

The Royal Council has just learned of a petition that is being circulated that seeks to overturn a law they approved only yesterday.

The head of the Council, Seven Snakes, glared at his fellow councilors at the table and demanded that the official responsible for drafting the section of the constitution which permits citizens to petition against laws be brought to the palace.

One of the eight Councilors present suggested that the police search for the lawyer.

"We don't want the lawyer here," said Seven Snakes.

"No, I'm not talking about Milty, I'm referring to the lawyer who wrote the constitution," said Starsky. Milty, also a lawyer and the only Councilor not at the meeting was not told of this Royal Council meeting.

Seven Snakes continued, "Milty didn't like the first version of the freedom of information law and he doesn't like the second version that we approved yesterday. So what if he's the only lawyer on the Royal Council. It is us eight Councilors that know what effect a law should have on our citizens. If Milty referes one more time to the law as an 'obstruction of information law' and not a 'freedom of information law' then I want to know. Its unpatriotic that kind of difference of opinion. Maybe the Special Committee on Behavior can take up that matter.

Most citizens prosecuted by The Special Committee on Behavior are usually charged under a "harmful behavior" law that covers pretty much anything. That law is the sparkling jewel and nobody can escape it. Just last week, a citizen dropped a bagel and his behavior was deemed harmful for many reasons. The Committee concluded that the bagel could have injured another citizen if it landed in his eye, that the bagel could have picked up harmful germs and later eaten by another citizen that would have been harmed by ingesting harmful germs, that dropping the bagel could have made everyone aware that a table was not properly set up by the goverment thereby harming the goverment's reputation for efficiency, and last but perhaps the most harmful, that dropping the bagel would incite other citizens to drop their food thereby creating a massive harmful food panic or just utterly harmful chaos.

The Royal Council Meeting Minus One determined that wanted posters should be put up and anyone who could have knowledge of the constitutional attorney's whereabouts are to be summoned to the palace for questioning.

Meanwhile, a mile from the palace citizens reviewed the old and new law line by line in preparation for writing up the petition and to once again contact other citizens for their signatures and support.
