| Message | It's a statement of intent to try some as soon as the economy comes into play. I tried for a while but couldn't think of much, and nothing at all that we could do yet. |

| Message | Imposing a limit on personal freedoms isn't favourable. If people make the mistake of overspending, why should it be the government's responsibility to play parent? |

| Message | I have an idea! Rather than openly limitting people's usage of money, we should make it a point to run an educational campaign about the topic and perhaps make it part of our public schools curriculum. |

| Message | that is a much better idea. besides, we can damage our economy by discouraging consumerism too harshly. |
