Nope.

A Great Leader Citizen Announcement

Our Great leader - The Buy Dung has proclaimed Comrades have a voice and he wishes to hear what you have to say.

Therefore it is proclaimed, on this day, the 13th day of the New Common Unified Peoples Era.

The Great Leader has decreed we must have,
SOCIAL MONITORING.

Now every citizens thoughts and writing will be heard and given the deepest attention by The Great Leader Buy Dung and his appointed staff.

Those thoughts judged worthy will be rewarded with a personal visit by his appointed staff. Based on the outcome of extended intense interactive discussions. Those worthy and their families will be rewarded a vacation to one of the several newly remodeled Citizen Resorts which are remotely located for peaceful and relaxing quiet.

Note these newly remodeled Resorts are: Peoples Resort #1 Johnson Island, #2 Deer Island, #3 Attu Island, #4 Johnston Atoll, and #5 Diego Garcia.

More are planned as the number of worthy Citizens found grows.

It is not surprising a growing number of those that are rewarded this honor, have applied for positions and allowed to stay permanently. Some even allotted a small but extremely suitable Living area, with everything provided for the remainder of their life.
