| Message | Competition keeps rates down; not to mention the fact that the people overall save when we aren't picking their pocket to pay for their letters through a nationalized system. |

| Message | I agree with the sons of liberty. A nationaliszed system doesn't really benefit anyone. at all. Its a waste of tax. You still have to pay for stamps. Service quality will be no better or less than that of the private industry. Its really got no benefits. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
