| Message | In 1998, Postmaster General Marvin Runyon declared "all Americans are entitled to a free form of mail service." It is one of the things we take most for granted: check your mailbox once a day, throw away the advertising circulars, hide the bills, and read what's left. Equal treatment in the eyes of a federal agency. Equality, Liberty, Opportunity. |

| Message | That's not a valid point, or within any boundaries. What business is it of the CAPITALISTS FORCING ME TO PAY THEM SO I CAN SEE MY OWN MAIL?? |

| Message | Next, you'll invest in some new corporation in which I'll have to pay good old John Smith so I can have the liberty to tie my own shoes. To get e-mail. To watch tv. |

| Message | Investing in new corporations and owning them are the socialists job. This Alliance, and this government, is concerned with equipping businesses with the abilities to lead a robust and fair economy without dreadful government interference. |

| Message | All I see in this bill and the one on privatizing energy is -finally- a healthy democracy in Dolgaria: cabinet against opposition. |
