| Message | The ALSP is sceptic to this bill as it increase the danger of sensure of the mails from potential nondemocratic governments. Although we are willing to support this at the moment as we still have other ways of communicating in this countries that is not monopolized by the government or any private power we would warn the other parties in this our cabinet that we in the ALSP value freedom higher then sosialism if we are forced to chose one of them, we don't consider "commercial freedom" a freedom. |

| Message | We don't support this, as it is unneccesary to abolish private post offices when they are already regulated enough to ensure that they provide a certain quality of service. |
| Date | 21:56:53, March 28, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Post Office Act |
| Message | This is just more communist reform by extremist and intolerant organizations that think private property is the work of the antichrist. |
| Date | 21:57:47, March 28, 2007 CET | From | Party of Moderates | To | Debating the Post Office Act |
| Message | Also, how in the world are our public ones better? Have you ever been to a government run monopolized function? What about FEMA? What about the DMV? Have those ever been better or more efficient than private areas? |

| Message | (ooc - just looked those two up - we dont have them in Britain). If this bill had gone through, then the people could have easily voted for the parties who didn't support it if they didn't like it. |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
