| Date | 04:22:27, August 14, 2005 CET | From | CNT/AFL | To | Debating the Government Represents the People, not the Trees |
| Message | Opposed (The average lodamunian citizen would probably not know what chemicals are harmful to what extent - government hired experts are far more likely to), opposed (no point or unenforced restrictions) and opposed (vehicles are a major portion of the pollution the nation generates, the current law does not restrict the use of private cars, it just encourages other methods of transportation) |
