Message | Mr Speaker, We are simple Luthorian soldiers and know not what this "Defense" is. We must therefore vote nay for fear of adding foreing ideas and concepts to the Luthori statute books. I yield the floor. |

Message | Mr Speaker, Our country must have a decent defense system because on the off chance that we are attacked I would hope that our soldiers know what defense is. And if the other parties believe that we live in non-turbulent times, then the government could regulate the defense production to accomodate the times. If arms production is privatized, how do we know that our soldiers are even getting the same weapons? Yeild. |

Message | Mr Speaker, The concept of "privatization" is also beyond us. May we refer the hon members for the Civ DP to the Language Standardisation Act (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=129392)? I yield the floor. |
