| Message | The idea of the slightest bit of privatization of defence industries is out of the question. The day that we start mixing the private sector with matters of war is the day the world ends. War profiteering will destroy the world, if we let it. Only the complete nationalization of the defence industry can we avoid building a military-industrial complex that wages war for the highest bidder. I am not willing to put Solentia's sons and daughters and national security in jeopardy for the sake of corporate conglomerates. Vote no, and I yield back. Senator Ryan Fay Social Democratic Chancellor |
