*chuckles*

yup...its confirmed. He's a Hummel...

Jan returns to reading law books and paperwork

Jens Hummel:

No, I'm quite serious. Too many times has this Diet been bogged down debating on the importance of Clauses Fourteen-B through R, exempting F, I, and L when there are matters of strategy and diplomacy to be discussed. If we want a more efficient Empire then it is necessary that this Diet concentrate on the correct things. The Reich is to be run by men, not lawyers.

Jan looks up and says to himself,

Aww, how cute. He's being serious...

**GeneralHankerchief** · 08-19-2007, 05:33

Jens Hummel:

Yes, you take yourself seriously, don't you? Mister "I only became a Crusader Count because I prostituted myself to the King every chance I got." Tell me, have you saved any benefactors of yours from death at the hands of the Horse Lords lately? No, I imagine you were too busy debating with your advisors on whether to put "and" or "or" in an Edict.

**Privateerkev** · 08-19-2007, 05:42

With those latest words, Jan looks up and stares Jens squarely in the eye.

Thats funny coming from someone who hasn't even seen combat yet. Luckily for you, your insulting a man that was far better than either of us could ever hope to be and he would disprove of me pounding you flat right here in the Diet.

You want to decrease the bureaucracy? Alright, then why don't you try to pass legislation that streamlines existing legislation? What you have proposed would only add a whole nother bureaucratic layer on top of what we already have. Who decides what is "excessive"? Who decides what is an "over-complication"? If your serious about making the Reich run better, then lets talk. I wasn't the one that brought up the issue with CA 10.2 anyways. I wasn't around the Diet when that was being discussed back in the 10th session.

Now, until your serious, I have inefficient business that I need to inefficiently get to.

Jens Hummel:

Alright, then why don't you try to pass legislation that streamlines existing legislation?

The legislation is streamlined, you wart. It's only insufferable pompous twits such as yourself that overcomplicate things.

**Privateerkev** · 08-19-2007, 05:56

*chuckles*

insufferable? yup

pompous? guilty

twit? sure, why not

wart? not one of the better ones I've heard but what the hell

do I overcomplicate? Oh I won't even try to deny that one

But is your legislation streamlined? Sadly, the answer is no. Make it workable and I'll give it a second. Until then you will be essentially doing nothing to help the very problem you claim to care about.

Any more witty retorts?

**Cecil XIX** · 08-19-2007, 05:58

Jens, you admit that your earlier proposed legislation was just wasting the Diet's time. Maybe if one of you would simply stop talking we could get on with this.
