| Message | I'd like to impart my philosophy here. My main reason for being against nuclear and chemcial weapons is not because of the havoc that they cause. That is the second reason. My main reason is that wars today are being fought without honour - a man in a uniform pushes a button and kills 100 people. There is no personal or physical skill. One-on-one is the only way to fight a war. Till World War II, military technology was acceptable I believe, but know no wonder the military is demoralized, it is the country with the best technology and not the best men that wins the war, the one with the most money and not with the most courage. I've always hated modernism. |

| Message | in that you have mixed two properties that we hold dear to ourselves together, that you have thrown socialism in with warmongering, we cannot vote on this proposal. |

| Random quote: "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tenche Coxe |
