| Message | "Mr. Speaker, I rise today to demonstrate my firm opposition to the bill introduced by Liberty Dawn. Outsourcing our police departments to private companies offers horrible new opportunities for corruption. It is inevitable that a police force driven by money will seek more money, and that money will come in the form of bribes and kickbacks. We urge Liberty Dawn to reconsider their hasty course of action." Jens Borg, Deputy Chairman and Senate Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Solentia |

Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: "Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction." - Charles R.
