| Message | So where is Losamun to get its timber for construction? This bill bans all felling except for firebreaks. I fear if this passes it may never be reversed because we simply won't have the paper for it to be written on. |

| Message | Every time paper is recycled, the fibers become shorter and weaker, so virgin pulp must be mixed with the used paper to provide strength. Because of the weakening, paper can only be recycled 4-6 times -wikipedia Actually your lack of knowledge is disturbing and a grave threat to the prosperity of this great nation. |
