| Message | That is cruel being a child is about freedom and happiness your only youn once and adult life can be grey and depressing children could be out playing or having fun rather than having to listen and show respect to a song and the fact the you wish to punish them is even worse if this bill passes then I will be glad that my children are home-educated and I will be recommending that other parents do the same Alfred Martins RAC Leader |

| Message | Members of Congress, May I remind the Minority Speaker that the song he refers to is actually our national anthem. Do we want our children growing up like wretched little commies? No. We want them to stand tall and proud whenever this song is played during their lives and that starts when they are little tots. Junior patriots I call them. They are the future of our great country, folks, unlike the little anarchists Mr Martins is moulding in his own likeness. Darius Darvos |

| Message | Well I would like to thank Congressman Darvos for tabling this bill. It's great that we can have open and honest discussions here in Baltusia, even with regards to radical policy changes as proposed here. You know Congressman Darvos I am proud of Baltusia, proud of our national anthem. I am proud to be a Baltusian. But what I am also proud of is the fact that we are one of the freest nations in the whole of the Terra. That people have liberty to choose what they do with their money, where to invest, what energy company to choose, to join the army no matter your sexuality nor gender and ultimatley to decide what they can and can't show repsect to. And when we take away the liberty of the people, their choice to do what they want- we will still be rich and we will still be powerful, but we will no longer be special. Thank you. President Stephen Trudeau. |
