| Message | We prefer 'First Minister'. 'Secretary General' hints at communism. |

| Message | "Secretary General" is often used to describe the head of institutions - NATO, the United Nations, etc. ("General Secretary" is a more leftwing description, being preferred by trade unions and the UK Labour Party.) However, it seems an inappropriate and excessively long title for a prime minister. FBSP prefers to stick with "First Minister", "Prime Minister" or "Premier". |

| Message | Incidentally, the term "minister" comes from the Latin word for "servant". So the first minister's role in serving the country is already encapsulated by this terminology. |

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.
