| Message | We find the nationalist we're-better-then-others ideas of this bill disgusting and consider it to be treason of humanity. |

| Message | We find the "spend money we don't have" ideas of the DSP to be fairly short-sighted. Cutting off our own hands to feed the hungry of other countries is not only outside the realm of our immediate responsibility, but it shirks the primary duty of the Sekowan government - Our own people! |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
