| Message | I'd vote against this purely because of the title, let alone because you keep wanting to reduce the government's powers to do good and replace them with this. |
| Date | 11:13:43, October 05, 2005 CET | From | NeoSocialist Party | To | Debating the Defense of the Realm Act 2121 |
| Message | A Central Agency is always a bigger problem for the people they "defend" than the people they try to fight. No point is giving Secret Services more power than the strictly necessary. (But at least we are having a debate now) |
| Date | 12:53:43, October 05, 2005 CET | From | Anarchist-Communist League | To | Debating the Defense of the Realm Act 2121 |
| Message | I could perhaps see the point in undertaking covert operation abroad to aid the cause of revolution there, but it seems to me that this is not the purpose of this bill. |
