                              GP Petition #111316                               
                               by Loki (#106854)

Rationale:  Differing opinions only spark trouble and dissention within the
walls of any otherwise tight-knit group.  While some may view the formation
of one's personal opinions as a sign of maturity or intelligence,
the fact is, it is frequently used as little more than a tool to permit
rebellion.

This petition, if passed, will make it mandantory for all GP members to agree
wholly and fully with the last surviving GP founder, Loki (#106584).   The
aim of this petition is to bring GP members all together in like mind - as
the title says, "Great Minds Think Alike" - and vastly reduce the amount of
bickering, quitting and anti-GP, pro communist petitions that have been
written recently.

While one is sorely tempted to treat rebels against this "vision for the
future" like other illustrious groups from history, such as the Roman
Catholic Church or the Nazis (is there really a big difference?), have done,
the limitations of virtual reality and the unfair laws against murder in most
civilized countries make this goal more of a dream than a reality. 
Therefore, when a GP member is found to be expressing views that Loki has not
already expressed, alert GP members are to make a witness log, which will be
forwarded to *GPE for the execs to peruse.  If an infraction is found, GP
members living around the rebel will be dispatched to his or her home to
calmly talk some sense into him or her.  Should he or she resist their words,
the beatdowns will commence, until the dissenter agrees that Loki's way is
truly the best, and that he or she was in grave error to presume otherwise. 
Thus, we will keep harmony and happiness in the GP.
