| Message | Of course you can't. Because you want to control the citizens of Hutori through the media. Anybody that votes against this bill will also be hoping to control citizens through media, and that disgusts us. |

| Message | Looks like there is a consensus amongst the other parties to control the people through media brainwashing. We hope that sends out a clear message to the people of Hutori. |

| Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
