| Message | What we have now amounts to a federal right to public sex. I mean, I'm not really opposed to the idea of public sex when it's lithe young people doing it. But I don't think it needs to be a federal right. Public sex will remain legal on the beaches of Sildar, whether we maintain a federal right to it or not. Isn't that what really counts? |

| Message | Now, not to be offensive about the people of Krentori. But their population is known to be aging. And to be totally honest, they've got no business having public sex. You want OLD PEOPLE doing it in public? Well, that's what you've got under current law. Old Krentorians farking out in public. Please, for Bog's sake, let's put a stop to that. |

| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
