| Message | What if people do not pass this test by the age of say, 60? You know, it is very possible that there exists a country somewhere in this universe where people could not point out their nation's capital on a map of their country with all the names written on the map for them. They couldn't tell you which president led them through some traumatic social upheaval, like say their civil war. It is a real possibility that a country like that exists, and what if that type of ignorant person existed here in Kalistan? Especially since we would like to outlaw child labor? There would be like one or two people serving as our workforce! SPoK unfortunately must ignore the elitist marble running through it's corporate figurative body and oppose this act. |

| Message | This could lead to a slippery slope towards fascism, where people can only become citizens if they swear loyalty to the government. We can never let that happen. |
