| Message | "The state should have no involvement in the economy, or else it will ruin it. Welfare is ineffective, harmful, and only creates a permanent underclass. And may I point out, child benefit and welfare are unjust. It involves the state forcibly taking money from its citizens, which is petty theft and nothing else, and redistributing it to others. This makes all welfare recipients parasites, all government officials looters, and the state nothing more than an organized crime gang." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |

| Random quote: "Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
