| Message | Clearly the TNP have no grasp on the mechanics of survival. Free Market ideas can only flourish in a dream world construct in which no external factors, such as the detrimental impact of pollution, exist. This bill can only be described as the longest suicide note in history. |

| Message | It is in our best interest to promote economic and industrial expansion; what does it matter if a few trees are knocked down in the process? |

| Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
