| Message | This is NOT "freedom"; it is ANARCHY!!! We might can support Article #2 at a later date, though. |

| Message | Articles 1 and 4 are not the laws of a free society whose government is based upon reason. We cannot entrust our citizens to the laws of other nations which may arbitrarily impose the death sentence for an offense which would be considered minor or even protected under the law in Likatonia. We cannot entrust our government with the right to torture us if they decide some piece of information we may or may not have is "vital". These are not the laws of free men of a free republic. |
