| Message | Hmm, you are correct, article 3 should be changed to only allow small-scale private power generation to ensure that the environment is not in hands of greed, article 4 should be removed to strip the local governments of their power, article 2 should allow the government to take land with no price questions asked, and article 1 should be changed make sure the government can or cannot do anything. (sarcasm) I think that this bill is rather balanced while keeping the rights of people. |

| Message | What about property? The government should BUY the property, not force em off the land you commies. Next you'll deprivatize microwave ovens! |

| Message | What if they want to, I don't know...KEEP THE PROPERTY? The citizen is still being forced off land you know, except they are being paid for it. |

| Message | What if the government needs to, I don't know... USE THE PROPERTY? It is simply not convenient to prohibit the establishment of any government sites, and it is even less convenient for a house or two to be in the middle of a military airfield because of people. Your arguments against this are the opposite of your arguments for an emergency curfew, except that a curfew is not as important to the wellbeing of a country as new vital works are. After all, people can protest when the government isn't in direct need. (Direct mock of your "protest when there isn't an emergency in effect") |

| Message | Hmm, would you like to live in the middle of a military airfield? Plus if you offer enough money, they shall not care. Though I might vote yes, afterall the government may get abolished. |

| Message | Some people can be a wee bit stubborn out of principle... even if it means living next to a rocket launch site. |

| Message | That dumb person must be a deaf person, because that idiot should be afraid of a rocket failure causing his house to explode instead of the test site. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
