| Message | The right to make your own choices is essential to liberty. A democracy is represented by its attitudes to is smallest and most politically weak group in society. Therefore, we must give the right to choice and make mature choices to our most representative group, our youth. It is an essential social contract that citizens may trust in their governments choices; and the government can trust in the choice of it's citizens. In the case of Article 4, this article would break this social contract and hurt the essential fact of a democracy that liberty must exists unimpeded. I also find Article 1 very restrictive and totalitarian. I made the same mistake by trying to impose a censoring motion in the Evangelism Permit Bill. I hope my peers will not make the same mistake. |
