| Message | We cannot fathom that a party that proclaims to be pro-free-market would actually prohibit a certain type of ownership of a business. A truly free market would let those who have the means to run a business do just that. Furthermore, the privatization of defence adds the profit motive to the nation's security. As soon as defence and profiteering cross paths, we have lost ourselves as a country. As far as gambling and prisoner treatment goes, we can agree. Senator Brandon Helmkamp SDLP Vice Chancellor |
