| Message | I agree with Article 2 completely. This paves the way for a freer society the world over. Article 1, however, does not. It does not make provision for more humanist motives to emmigration for foreigners. It may be that there are non-skilled foreign citizens who are decendents of Zardugal citizens. What about them? Since you have put this straight forward to voting, I must decline to vote yes on this. |

| Message | We have changed our mind on this one, because we believe that the intended controls in Article 1 have a broader sense than we first thought. |

| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
