| Message | The same place where you, John Smith, took all those money from new elections! Two early elections, do you know how much that costs? And you want even more new elections... Did anybody ask how much that costs?! If we have money for 3 early elections plus the upcoming ones, we have money for this, dear John Smith. -- Vojislav Krkljus, Head of RRP |

| Message | Telamon is focusing on problems at home. It is not engaging in problems with our terrestrial neighbors. Why would we wish to engage with problems beyond the stratosphere? -Delphan Gruss, Minister of Science & Technology |

| Message | Sir the question was rhetorical. I surely hope you were not educated by our illustrious public education system. The choice is clear. If we are concentrating on problems at home, we are, and if we are not engaging in problems with our terrestrial neighbors, we're not, then why would we wish to engage with problems beyond the stars? The answer, of course, is that we don't. -Delphan Gruss, Minister of Science & Technology |

| Message | BUT, when we had all that money for 2 early elections and the one coming, and when we had all that money to make telephone lines free, why won't we do a little investment and become a world nation? - Vojislav Krkljus, RRP |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
