| Message | We disgree merely to the "only when holy" idiocy, especially when hearing it coming it from secular, "politically correct" movements. we wish to leave the justice repressive for criminals, and rewarding for good citizens. |

| Message | However, torturing suspects for their name etc. is not necessary. The current laws have potential for widespread abuse. |

| Message | I believe that people are supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty." If we torture innocent people, then we fail our citizens. |

| Message | We don't like anyof the possible options of this policy, and rather keep it as it is. Should abuse become a problem, it means the penalties for such don't reach high up enough. |

There shall be only one class of mail delivery, and ALL mail shall travel at the SAME speed for EVERYBODY. There can be no class discrimination in the People's Post Office! There must be the SAME class of mail service FOR ALL! ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
