| Message | Disagree. The Ifgoerroon (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Iftgoerroon) are loyal members of society. They make up roughly 1/4 of the population and the Duntrekker supremacy is not threatened by them given their small numbers. |

| Message | Were do the differing ethnic groups, such as the Euphitriens, lie within such a system? They are not Duntrekkers. Also, are the individual ethnic groups going to be given their own autonomous provinces, similar to the "Bantustans" of other apartheid examples? What of the education system? What are those targeted by apartheid going to face in the future, they will have no need for education if they are meant to be a helot race. If these questions have not fallen on the ears of the ruling parties, or have not been thought in their brains, then this nation is surely in trouble if this is the way in which decisions are to be made ... no thought, no interest in the consequences, just blind action. |

Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
