Issue solutions leave much to be desired

It's a little frustrating reading an issue, and then feeling compelled to either dismiss it, or choose an outcome you really don't like, because the choices given are lacking.

Too often, it's one extreme or the other. Free everyone or arrest everyone. Ban it all or leave it completely alone. There needs to be some way to inject moderation. For example, todays issue "Cheese Throwing", I'd have much preferred to arrest all the throwers, but leave the comic be. Sorry, not an option. So, instead I dismissed, not a very effective method of governing.

Allowing write-in answers would be the best, though most likely a logistical nightmare. Offering more possible solutions would do the trick.

It's a game of political satire, not a class in political science. The choices are supposed to be unreasonable, for Pete's sake.

I wrote that issue. It originally had that option but for some reason the mods took it out!
