| Message | Why do people need gated communities anyways? Most poor people dont live in them and most rich people lived in their gated estates? Also, what constitutes a gated community? Does a house with a small fence around it and a gate 5 feet from the door count? As far as gated communities go, I really do not care what you do or how you live as long as you do not ruthlessly exploit people or subvert the supreme authority of the state. |

| Message | Oh, as for secondary strikes, ZP (I am asking you because I know how you are going to vote), what is right about having the workers of a responsible employer striking to protest someone elses wage? The only person it punishes is the responsible employer who cares for their workers. That is not to say that those workers cant protest after they are done with their shifts or on their days off. |

| Message | Because given half the chance, we know the boss of any big company will force is workers over a desktop and fuck them in the arse. Theirfor, were kicking them whilst their down and saying 'if you treat people like dicks, the workers shall unleash hell in the very work places you own!' |

| Message | Also, what does the LIA mean when they say: "The Private Sector will cater to the Rich while the Government Gated Communities will focus more on the Lower Income Class." We assume you mean "Let the goverment regulate you! Dont fight off Big Brother, embrace Big Brother!" |
