| Message | Killing family farms by permitting large agribusinesses. Tsktsk. Not reform at all, but regression. |

| Message | In real life I live on a family farm and I do know what I am talking about. The government should not be allowed to ruin the success of a farm. They should leave it be. Dang liberals, they try to controls everything. The best government is a government the governs least. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
