| Message | The RPP is obviously a party that loves muderers. It encourages doctors to kill children and the ill and they won't even properly punish those which kill others. |

| Message | What pathetic scare-mongering from the GSPP. Murder is despicable, whether it's committed by an individual or the state. What's more statistics and common sense prove that the death penalty is no detterant to murder. We are a civilised nation, and should start acting like one. |

| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
