| Message | Civil rights are far more valuable than democracy for you cannot have democracy without civil rights. Remember the words of Benjamin Franklin: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." "All the heretics I have known have been virtuous men." Most of the military are Progressive Democrats so if tyranny and oppressive restrictions of rights and liberties of the individual continue then... To arms, bold Darnussians! Arm yourselves against the CDU enforcing a lifestyle upon you. Arm yourselves if you dare wish to call yourselves free people! |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
