| Message | Sir, This resolution will stifle the economy, and bring big industry down. I realize your motives are good ones, but there are better ways to protect our natural beauty better than killing off the economy. I highly recommend all parties consider the consequences of this bill. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not approve a Cultural Protocol request within the first 48 hours of it being requested. This is in order to give other players a chance to query the proposed changes, if they wish to do so. Moderation may be approached for advice on a proposed change, but any advice proffered should always be understood under the provisio that no final decision will be made until at least 48 hours after the request has been formally submitted for approval. |
