| Message | It has been 500 years since the beginning of the Millennium, and if these past 500 years have proven anything, it is that technology continues to advance, making problems long thought to be unsurmountable obsolete. The population "problem" is one of these. We ought to be encouraging healthy population growth at every level of society, and to those who believe this planet cannot support more than a finite number of people, I say: Such defeatist beliefs have been proven wrong before. |

| Message | But it is proven that all systems have a critical point where equilibrium is no longer sustainable. There is a great chance that Terra does have a point at which human numbers will overwhelm here. The other issue with this bill is that we do not currently have enough resources to adequately provide for all of our people currently. We need to work on maximizing the economic and social opportunities within the status quo before we go about tampering with the population. Varying the independent variable in the middle of evaluating its dependents. In doing so, you invalidate the data collected and therefore have wasted you time and the tax payers money. |

| Message | I would judge that Ikradon already has steady population growth. We cannot support this legislation. |

| Message | I like the idea, but it's not feasible at this point in time. We need an incredibly powerful economy first. We don't need to have a large generation born into poverty. Just wait for some time and you'll have a full MCP backing. |
