| Message | (I will admit I personally have mixed feelings on this subject. On one hand, I understand the arguments for absolute freedom of privacy. On the other hand, I can see the arguements for state-run police to have power to force individuals to divulge certain ifnromation. Can someone from each side make a good argument for or against?) |

| Message | (On second thought, scratch that.) Information that condomens an individual can rarely be obtained without coercion. Even though the LP sees the use of force, whether by private individuals or public agents, as a violation of individual freedom, we cannot in good faith support legislation that would impede our justice system to such a high degree. |

| Message | The ULT agrees that the right to privacy is extremely important, but cannot back this bill because of the absolutist nature of the wording. We side with the Libertarians in thinking that there are situations, primarily in criminal investigations, where the state will need to collect information against the will of a citizen. The ULT would, however, back a bill that guarenteed privacy while allowing provisions for limited cases for law enforcement purposes. These allowed cases should be very strictly limited in nature. |

| Message | (ULT: you may not want to get caught up on the wording of particular bills. Unfortunately, the game simulation has a limited number of choices for each issue. That means, you have to pick the one closest to your beliefs and just go with it. The only other option for this particular issue is "The justice has the right to monitor information of individuals without letting them know," which I'm sure you're against.) |
