| Message | This is merely another attempt by the 'PSLM' to undermine religion and its place in society by enforcing uniformity on religious schools. What 'regulations' would the 'PSLM' see fit? Would religious schools be forced to teach Darwin's theory of evolution? The big-bang? Perhaps they would even be forced to teach a secular version of Religious Education? |

| Message | The NRPF should be silet regarding Darwin. Darwin's biological theory of evolution is accurate, but the social-darwinist thories advocated by the NRPF are the biggest stupidity in the intellectual history of the world. |

| Message | We do not necessarily subscribe to social Darwinism, as the 'REP' claim - in fact, on the contrary, we strongly oppose abortion, euthanasia, and all forms of population control, all of which a social Darwinist would surely support in various circumstances. |

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
