| Message | Madam Speaker, the government has recently voted to massively increase security spending, making incidents like the Wellyn Airport Crises less likely in the future. Harsh controls at our borders would not help with the fight against terrorism, and would not have stopped the recent hostage crisis. Diego Barreto MP (Minister of Finance) |

While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
