1. "Look at @@NAME@@'s children: fat, lazy, dumb, and unsuccessful," says the book's author @@RANDOMMALENAME@@. "Now look at my two girls. Attending top colleges! Lawyer and doctor! Making a difference with their lives! Making good money with their lives! It takes iron discipline, regular beatings, and the sacrifice of their childhoods, and I might not remember their names every once in a while, but who cares about that when I can brag about my boys - I mean girls."I'm confused about what Mr. 3 is claiming isn't his fault.
2. "Poor babies," wails concerned mother @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@, clutching her teenage son tight to her bosom. "That book suggests the most awful punishments - hit our children, starve them, make them do their homework. The worst thing I ever did to my cupcake was give him a little gold star for trying his best. I suggest we ban this book and while we are at it, lengthen the school holidays so I can take my huggle-bug to Mr Happy's Funland again."
3. "It's not my fault," yawns exhausted warehouse operative and father of four @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, after returning from a double shift, "All I ever learned at school was how to calculate a hypotenuse and how an oxbow lake is formed. Why not teach young @@DEMONYMNOUNPLURAL@@ some useful life skills like raising kids, getting a job, and coping with the daily grind of life? It's all they have to look forward to, after all." He immediately falls asleep on the couch.
4. "Lion dad?" queries @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, grasping his young son under one arm, while feeding a ferocious @@ANIMAL@@ from the other. "That's actually just what our kids need these days - a taste of the wild. All newborn children should be left in the wilderness to fend for themselves. The strong and resourceful will survive to better our nation, and the weak... well at least the @@ANIMALPLURAL@@ won't go hungry."

Voters, Place Your Bets!
The Issue
In response to a news story about a casino oddsmaker using offshore betting lines to perfectly predict Sierra Lyricalia's last set of election results, interested parties have wrangled their way into your office to bicker about what to do with this potential prediction tool.
The Debate
"Have you no decency whatsoever?" thunders @@RANDOMNAME@@, the Violetist demiarchwizard of @@CAPITAL@@, before anyone else can say a word. "Even if gambling WEREN'T a mortal sin, the democratic process will fail under such a mighty burden! You must outlaw gambling on elections. Card games are one thing, but this is gambling with the very future of @@NAME@@! Oh, and we should crack down on those sinful casinos while we're at it."
Accept
"Now, there's no reason to get excited," soothes @@RANDOMNAME@@, the @@NAME@@ Commissioner of Elections. "We can use this in a nice, boring, I mean safe, kind of way. Why don't we take bets on elections like bookmakers would take bets on @@DEMONYM@@ Pharoah in the @@CAPITAL@@ Derby? If the Election Commission runs all the action, we'll keep out the riff-raff AND put a little extra cash in our domestic budgets."
Accept
"Legalized gambling on ALL votes would be real sweet for our little thing-- uh, for the economy," confides @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of notorious mobster Maxine "The Octopus" Barryotti. "Folks should be allowed to make a little somethin' when their favorites win, am I right? More jobs, more civic participation! And just between you and me, we could really clean up." He nudges you with his elbow, glances around, and continues quietly, "Some candidates might just be headed for a fall, know what I mean?"

It was originally introduced as a religion that mandates human sacrifice, and while it's diversified a little, it's almost always been characterized as a dangerous extremist religion.
Opposing gambling (not even killing gamblers or forbidding home games with gambling elements, just shutting down casinos) and supporting democracy are pretty mainstream religious beliefs, more suited to @@FAITH@@.

A Working Class Hero Is Something To Be
The Issue
The quarterly production reports show that a worker from Northern Teksi, Alenyo Stackemup, has mined more unobtainium ore than all the other workers in his district combined, leading to questions about how the state should recognize such spectacular industriousness.
The Debate
1. "Comrade Stackemup is truly setting a fine example to the workers of Teksi!" enthuses the invariably optimistic Minister of Industry, Hack O, "Clearly we should be rewarding such commitment to the cause. If we increase his ration allowance and give him a nicer state apartment to live in, the other workers will be motivated to match his output. Of course we'll need a big promotion campaign to get everyone pumped up, but it'll pay off with a new age of economic productivity!"
2. "You're forgetting our revolutionary ideals," interjects the more idealistic Minister of Resources, Rosalia Anderson. "From each according to his ability - to each according to his NEED. Comrade Stackemup doesn't need any more rations than any other miner, and building socialism is its own reward. Giving special treatment to workers who produce more will only lead us down the slippery slope back to capitalist exploitation."
3. "I actually think we have a bigger problem than that," says the perpetually suspicious Minister of Internal Affairs, Jacob Chicago. "Have you really looked at the numbers his district has claimed? According to their report, Stackemup's production level was OVER 9000! That's just not possible: no one could humanly shift that much unobtainium. They're obviously falsifying the data. We need to eliminate such corruption with a thorough audit of the whole sector, and in the meantime, don't go making an example of Stackemup and his supposed achievements: we'll all end up embarrassing ourselves."
