| Message | "According to the current law, profits and prices are regulated to prevent gouging, thereby protecting the consumer. Why destroy the electrical companies in their entirety? With competition comes improvement of services. By putting the electrical services in the hands of the state, you remove the incentive to advance the technology of the electrical grid, plain and simple." -Sir Jonathan Raleigh, Directory Member |

This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now." - Louis Proyect |
