Description: With a recent stock-market crash due to a bad prediction by a self-proclaimed "Psychic", citizens of @@name@@ are calling the government to take action on "Psychics".

[option]"These psychics cost me over two hundred thousand @@CURRENCY@@s!" says @@randomname@@, "The government should ban them immediately!"
[effect]"psychic predictions" are banned country-wide
[stats]happiness up, economy slightly down, apathy down

[option]"Why not allow the 'psychics' to remain in business, but we tax the hell out of them? They certainly make enough money, and it's more money for the governmental coffers!" says @@randomname@@, your Minister of Finance.
[effect]"Psychics" are taxed to within an inch of their life
[stats]taxes up, government size slightly up, happiness up, apathy down

[option]"Hey, people CHOOSE to come to us!" says @@randomname@@, a palm reader on a busy street. "We may be wrong sometimes, but we're no less correct than any stock analyst in their fancy high-rises! Banning my profession would be violating my right to make a living."

Suggestions? This is my first issue ever, and it sure as hell isn't perfect.

My first thought was that the options were a bit on the short side and that they also were a bit 'flat' or 'lacking depth'. It's hard to describe really.

I think that you should think about it a bit more and it's @@RANDOMNAME@@.

In option 1 I think that civil rights should go down, apathy shouldn't be affected, not sure about economy.

Civil rights should probably go up in the last issue. There are other stats to change but I'm tired...

yeah ... the whole case is to flat ...

you need to build op each opinion with an:

1. Opinion
2. Argument
3. Reasoning

only one that fill those three in your issue is, if any, opinion 3

I'd try to think of something else.
