| Message | "Whilst we are for federalism in almost all instances, there are some areas we are very iffy on. Environmental issues is one we are not willing to delegate to local levels, and this one sparks an interesting train of thought. While of course we want to allow local people to decide how to preserve their local heritage and whether it deserves preservation, the problem is it may extend well beyond the local area. Nevertheless, it hardly seems fair to allow a central authority to dictate to the people of the area how they should treat their land and history, so we're ultimately in favor, though it gives me a good gut-wrenching feeling." -Fyodr Yamnik, DM |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
