The dangers of being reactionary

We have seen several examples this week in the mainstream news media of the Parent Corporation reacting to our moves in less-than-ideal ways. Take this article, for example. The pet store owners had made a remark earlier this week about how they're not sure they're going to keep selling hole punches, and this remark was apparently overheard. The Parent Corporation immediately did a knee-jerk reaction, sending a dead body to the pet store instead of some fish. What's more, the fish were left at the airport to die. This recent spate of reactionary behavior has motivated us to react by outlawing reactionary behavior in the GNU Public Dictatorship. Being reactionary is clearly less practical than carefully considering your options, even if it is sometimes more satisfying. As it is clearly less than optimal social behavior, however, from now on any supporter caught reacting in a less than calm and objective way will punished severely.

Because this decision was made quickly without much thought for the implications, we have not yet selected a punishment for violation of the rule. Feel free to suggest punishments at your local GPD offices. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not committed to an efficient society!
