| Message | Mr.Montgomery, Are you suggesting that we can believe in local governments to make sure alcohol won't be sold to minors? We firmly believe when it comes to issues like alcohol & smoking, the whole nation should observe one rule. Leaving it to the local governments will have a negative impact on the above mentioned objective. The best option here is to have a national policy regarding this matter. This is a step forward for the future of our young generation. we will be grateful if you could see the reasoning behind this bill & support it. |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
