| Message | Why is the lack of government supervision concerning gambling desirable? -Takanashi Noble |
| Date | 22:54:09, July 17, 2012 CET | From | Williams Family | To | Debating the Gambling Legalization |
| Message | Our family believes that we should see how Beluzia's economy will perform if the government pretty much lets market forces dictate everything. Less regulation means more business ventures and more profitable business. Problems may also arise but we'll deal with them as they come up. |

| Message | With due respect, our honourable colleagues for the Williams Clan, less regulation also means more abuse of freedom such as dishonest business practices, most of them having negative effects on the overall health of the business, if not the entire economy. Our clan believes that government intervention is essential for an economy to function for the benefit of the people, even if the assumption that less regulation does increase business ventures. -Takanashi Noble |
