Ascension (CCN) - CEO Tyler Extasis condemned the recent World Assembly proposal "Extinction Preparation Act." The resolution calls for storing seeds and cells of living organisms in an arctic vault.

"The notion that thousands of nations from diverse regions across space and time should store their seeds all in one lonely vault is quite absurd. If such mass-extinction does occur, would it not be convenient that all remaining life be solely in the WA's greedy hands? The only thing I wish extinct is both the World Assembly and it's ridiculous resolution." the CEO commented today in a press conference.

As of now, votes are relatively level:
Votes For: 2,650
Votes Against: 2,506
