| Message | There is no conclusive proof concerning the link between climate change and the ownership of private cars. The UHT is completely trampling over the rights of the citizen with this proposal. |

| Message | We understand the ambiguity over climate change, but we ask you - If we do not know whether climate change is a threat, does it hurt to be prepared in case it is? Even if it isn't, the reduction of cars with dirty fumes will improve the appearance of our roads, and in the long run a reduction in car ownership may even reduce invevitable congestion that every growing nation suffers from. We might be wrong, but is it not prudent to take precautionary action in case we are right??? |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
