Bill: Freedom Is Protecting Rutanians Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Freedom Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2132
Description[?]:
| We have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost, the cost of lives snuffed out, of energies overtaxed and broken, the fearful physical and spiritual cost to the men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly the years through. Rutanian waste places are unreclaimed, Rutanian forests untended, fast disappearing without plan or prospect of renewal, and unregarded waste heaps at every mine. There can be no liberty or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they can not alter, control, or singly cope with. Rutania must see to it that it does not itself crush or weaken or damage its own constituent parts. The first duty of law is to keep sound the society it serves. Environmental protection is therefore an intimate part of the very business of justice and legal efficiency in a Free state. The Radical Freedom Party calls for: -Safeguarding the continued ecological safety of the state in Rutanian agricultural policy -Cleaning up Rutania: responsibility in waste disposal. -Responsible management of Rutanian exotic animals. -Protecting the Rutanian scenery, localities, cultural, and historical sites. |

| Date | 21:22:47, October 22, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Party II | To | Debating the Freedom Is Protecting Rutanians Act |
| Message | The LAP would support consider supporting subsidies for tobacco and cannabis crops. None of the other proposals seem particularly wonderful. |
| Date | 00:09:58, October 23, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Freedom Is Protecting Rutanians Act |
| Message | In favour of the first. Against all the others. The subsidies one is particularly bad... and I thought that the RFP was libertarian? Perhaps Socialist is a more accurate description. |
| Date | 01:15:39, October 23, 2005 CET | From | Radical Freedom Party | To | Debating the Freedom Is Protecting Rutanians Act |
| Message | Or perhaps we just care about the environment, and do not subscribe to the cheap labelling efforts of the LIP. We favour Freedom. You would do well to actually *read* the bill and perhaps reply in kind. |
