| Message | We think nationalising the -grid- is the fundamental security issue; as the companies can be ordered to comply by the government if necessary during times of emergency. |
| Date | 01:26:06, December 09, 2008 CET | From | Minarchist Party | To | Debating the Nationalization of Energy Companies |
| Message | We oppose this as unethical, inefficient government interference. We seem to be issuing redundant statements regarding this bill as well. |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
