| Message | Advertisements are essential to a properly functioning economy. How else are Dorvish citizens going to be made aware of goods and services that may interest them? Why should we fund any radio stations at all? We have more important matters to conern ourselves with. The private sector can manage the media for us. |

The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Dwight D. Eisenhower |
