| Message | Dueling laws can be abused are effectively lead to state-sanctioned murder -- this matter should not be left up to local governments. The other matters in this proposal are all more appropriate for local governments to decide. |

| 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 |
