| Message | Even though the GCPD does not condone racism, we do not feel that it is the governments place to tell companies who they may or may not hire. |
| Date | 18:03:08, April 02, 2007 CET | From | Freeminded People's Party | To | Debating the Empowerment Act (Part VI) |
| Message | When we talk about freedom of the individual, one of its meanings is equal treatment & no discrimination, whether it be the old style or the new 'affirmative action.' This is one of those rare occasions where government action is useful in promoting individual freedom rather than hindering it. |
