| Message | This bill will: a) Ban private ownership of wild and exotic animals as they might be dangerous and kil people. b) Allow economic growth and improve the standard of living by allowing people to own automobiles with less burdens. This will help communities grow, boost tourism among other reasons. c) Reduce burdens of cumbersome and unnecessary 'pollution restrictions' that do nothing but contribute red tape and less jobs due to the atrophy of industry. d) Make private corporations responsible for their own waste. e) Eliminate coercion on households on recycling. While recycling is heavily encouraged, the zealotry used in persecuting even the more minor offenders in idiotic and stupid. |
