| Message | Absurd. Forest is already protect by government. Why should lawmakers from one part of the FTCM be legislating over forests from another part? |
| Date | 22:33:52, May 19, 2009 CET | From | The New Nationalist Movement | To | Debating the Policy concerning forest protection. |
| Message | Rather than local governments proposing how forests should be protected, all should be protected to the same extent to avoid abuse of local government powers. For instance the use of excessive logging in one region be undertaken in all regions. Just because it is left to local governments does not mean it will be implimented. |

| Message | By the same token, local governments should be empowered to avoid abuse of federal government power — which has the potential to be far more damaging. |

| Message | However, as you suggest either would be acceptable, both are open to abuse of power. Overall protection of forests and logging lisences would allow for more environmental regulation. |

| Message | And more environmental regulation is supposed to be a good thing? The RASU disagrees. |

| 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 Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
