| Message | PUF apologizes for the length of this bill. Unfortunately, many elements of our current education system in need of improvement. PUF is happy to take a measured approach in reform, separating the content of this bill into several smaller ones over time. Yet perhaps there would be enough popular support to pass this far reaching and forward looking reform now, with slight alterations to the bill's content. |

| Message | We are glad to see that other party`s too see some interest in our old proposals, although this is to much. We agree with articles 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11. Although some of the articles may be a little less regulated, sometimes a government could cooperate with private companies. |

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
