| Message | We will support this measure but it’s terms DIRECTLY contradict the governments commitments made in Article 17 of the human rights treaty, in regards to confiscating property. The government says there that the right to property is INVIOLABLE. But here we are committing ourselves to the seizure of said property and the arbitrary manumission of all slaves we seize. The acknowledgement of chattel slavery as a form of property is implicit in the language of this treaty. The government cannot take both positions, and we would prefer that the Governmemt adopt the one of THIS bill rather than that other. |

| Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
