| Message | Good idea, and we wish we could support it.... but, we consider the current level of involvement something of a compromise, anyway... since the radio industry is not owned ENTIRELY by 'The People' OR by 'Industry'. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |

The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust." - Ralph Nader |
