| Message | Mr Speaker, The hon member for the Civ DP is quite right when he says "Better education ensures a better economic future. Better health care ensures that less people will DIE". I, for one, fail to see, however, how government involvement in these sectors would be expected to bring about such improvements. The evidence, freely available by observing any of the multitude of socialist states in Terra, is stacked greatly against such a concept. I yield the floor. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
