| Message | This bill is disgusting. Absolutely grotesque. "Private establishment should have the right to participate in the defense industry" What? The right to MAKE MONEY OFF OF MURDER? Do you think it is ethical to make money off of people dying? "creating more business opportunities." What a clever way to disguise making money off of people dying! Not only is this bill legalize profiteerism, but it is a great threat to freedom. If defense industries are privatized, this means that when we go to war, our government is making companies rich by killing people. Not only is it just allowing private industry to make money off of such, but these companies will be on the stock market. And what that means essentially is that government officials will start buying stock in these companies that get rich off of war, and the government officials themselves will become the profiteers. Then, there is no incentive for the government officials to get the job done and get troops home as soon as possible; the longer they stay, the richer they get. Eventually, as was done in the past in Barmenistan and is still done in many other horrible nations around the globe, the government officials will start declaring war for the sake of making themselves rich. This could perhaps have been the motives behind the uncalled for terroristic attack on us by the Kundrati Union, in an attempt to provoke us into war so they can make money off of our soldiers dying. This is absolutely sick. The UPCP and Progress Party ought to be ashamed. And, if they continue in voting in favor of this bill, they should all be brutally executed. |

| Message | "they should all be brutally executed" How dare you call for violence against a fellow member of the ruling Cabinet?! Are YOU insane?! What you are saying is that the Chancellor, Finance Minister, and several other ministers should all be executed, overthrown, or in some other way harmed! May I add that you can actually be charged with conspiracy to commit murder and treason, as you call upon the people and other politicians to kill the Head of Government, four ministers, and more than a fourth of the legislature! And then the court shall rule that you should be "brutally executed". |

| Message | Reread our statement. It states that execution should be performed IF you vote in favor of corporatizing and capitalizing murder, which sadly, you apparently have done. |
