| Message | Mr. Speaker, This legislature should not pass laws that hamper the ability of the military to defend this country. As head of the MoD, I can assure you that discussions of nuclear weaponry within military circles are taken very seriously. The use of any force, nuclear or conventional, must be made with an appreciation for the moral and practical effects. -Ron Ragamuffin, Minister of Defence |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We are NOT hampering the ability of our nation to USE nuclear weapons. We are just saying that they should be used as a LAST RESORT since the lives of INNOCENT civilians over a WHOLE city can be destroyed in 2 seconds. Therefore, we ask Mr. Ragamuffin [and Madame President O'Sunbeam], what will THEY do if they are eating LUNCH (or SLEEP in a bed) and they DIE instantaneous from a Nuclear bomb/missile that falls on the CITY that they are in albeit 10 miles away??? "Do unto OTHERS as you wish it to be done unto YOU!!!' ---The GOLDEN Rule--- |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
