| Message | Waste disposal is unregulated? Is there no low to which the ConLibs will NOT sink? So - we can have random dumping... trash in the streets? Industrial waste in residential zones? Chemical and nuclear dumping in the playgrounds of children's schools? The ConLibs are really willing to sell even basic safety for a few Liks? |

| Message | This is a proposal which not only have we proposed before, but one which was government policy for some time. Waste removal was far more efficient. |

| Message | We find it amusing that the ConLibs would think to argue historical precedent as a good reason to support something. By the same token, the ConLibs should support the good 'Axis Mundi' name of Likatonia - since the 'historical precedent' favours it. We also note: while the ConLibs claim that 'waste removal was far more efficient' - they fail to address the possible abuses of de-regulation - like dumping industrial waste in domestic areas. That would be 'efficient', but it wouldn't be good. |

| Message | Also, if one cannot afford to pay to have one's waste removed, then they are forced to live in filth. |
