| Date | 01:42:42, June 14, 2007 CET | From | Capitalists for Prosperity | To | Debating the PLF: Reinstating the Revolution |
| Message | There are way too many flaws to point out on this bill. For brevity's sake, I won't comment on any of the articles that I have already done so on other bills. In regards to article 5, it is plain xenophobic. Foreign investors often help economic growth. There is no sane reason to stop that. Articles 6 and 7 are revolting. We denounce these articles for the sake of civil rights. People must be able to experience the truth for the sake of personal liberty and intelligent choices, but I suppose a pestilence like you wouldn't understand that. Article 9 is foolish. Why we should waste taxpayer dollars on sports clubs. Even worse, it doesn't even allow for choices for private sports clubs. Truly sickening. Now, the people must tolerate a single, poor standard. |
