| Message | NO, we think ONE radio station owned by the government is a good benefit for all. This radio station has only education courses and informational news about the politic. It just let the citizens know what we all are doing here. |

| Message | We don't think that this is propaganda at all. The PMP supports the status quo on this issue. |

| Message | We thank the ISLP for their continued support and frown upon the continued support for propoganda. When the government decides what our people should know and chooses what information is given, that is propoganda. |

| Message | Of course not! if the privat companies don't send information 'bout our government it is their and not our problem. Every one is free to choose his favoured station. |

| Message | We agree with the IPS. If the listeners don't like what they're hearing on the public station, they are perfectly free to turn the dial and listen to another station. As for this being a drain on taxpayers' money, nobody said that this couldn't be supported by advertising or the listeners themselves. |

| Message | This bill has been in debate for about three years now. There has been no new debate for some time now. Could this *PLEASE* either be put to a vote or deleted from the agenda? |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
