| Message | Again you shown your opposition to a healthy economy. Buy "Pure Cildanian Mountain Spring Water", it tastes better than the tap water ever did under regulation, and supports one of the premier companies of Gilzon Canton. |

| Message | And again you show your opposition to a healthy populace. Buy unregulated "Pure Cildanian Mountain Spring Water" and get Cholera. |

| Message | Ignorance abounds. It is still against the law to harm people, and a water company that sold non-potable water would be criminally prosecuted. Companies are still responsible for their products, it just isn't the job of the federal government to keep every industry on a leash. |

| Message | Leave the capitalists to sell their overcharged water to those who wish the quality, But amend this bill. The government sets a range of standards dependant on water usage. (grey water regulation, etc.) is a far better option, That way the minium standard of drinking water, say D, is always avilible to the public though free public supply. If one lives in a region which cannot supply maximilian quality water, then bottled water will still sell, and those who will never trust anything supplied by the government have the choice to purchase their water though private enterprise. A Middle ground can almost always be reached. |

| Message | Our system of taxation is entirely consumption based. Under your so-called middle ground, those who purchased bottled water would be paying for their water, and paying for the water of those drinking from the tap, while the tap-drinkers pay nothing. We will not support such an immoral policy of redistribution of wealth. |

| Message | A "free public supply of water" has to be produced, which costs a producer money that he will never see a return for. No middle ground can be reached: you cannot plunder a man only party, or enslave a man only half-way. |
