| Message | Shall we wait for hundreds of thousands of our citizens to die before we can defend ourselves? Also, what if scientologists wanted to set up schools? Children need to grow up and be exposed to many different views and opinions. The fire fighting article is nonsense, we can't be sure that they will be properly trained and fully equipped. If you want something done right, do it yourself. Finally, I'm sure you know how I feel about tied aid. |

| Message | I definately like article three. The rest... I dunno, I like them a little, but not a whole lot. Not sure how I'll vote yet. |

| Message | KWP: Competitive contracts mean we look at training and equipment as well as price when choosing a company. If you want something done, don't trust the government. Secondly, you opposition to allowing unrecognised religions to set up schools; could just as easily apply to recognised religions under current laws. |
