| Message | Article 2 and 5 shock me, i disagree with 3 and 4, but i would support article 1. |

| Message | Perhaps Article II is indeed extreme, and will likely be removed. Article 5 however, makes the most sense. The youth must enhance the state in order to be considered responsible and contributing adult citizens, and Article 5 ensures this happens. Articles 3 and 4 are required to protect our population. While I am sympathetic to the plight of non-Coruban citizens, we must ensure that we do not take their side of that of our own people. |
