| Message | We oppose requiring tree replenishment during logging operations, but our current pollution laws encourage replanting as soon as practicable (since tree planting gives pollution credits which are marketable) and also require that the land be returned to its original state at the end of the usage period. |

| Message | Liberty Party: The law you referred to (on the main message board) may say a lot of things in the description but it's real impact on the law is not what you claim it to be. |

| Message | The description is the law. The limits of the game mechanics require that any legal position more complex than the proposals available be set out in the description. I'm not sure where exactly the game says this, but I believe it's either in the wiki or the tutorial. Or are you saying that the description would not have the effect claimed? If it is the latter, I would be perfectly willing to discuss revising the text to clarify the effects. I know that the existing wording is not great, I wanted to get my thoughts out there initially and expected to revise it during the debate phase, but it passed as is. |

| Random quote: "The European Union and environmental advocacy groups use global warming hysteria to advance their own special agendas. The European Union recognizes any significant reduction in CO2 emissions by the United States will significantly reduce its economic output, thereby bringing it closer to the inferior output of European nations. Environmental advocacy groups work to stifle economic and industrial progress wherever they find it to inhibit the successful advancement of peoples in developing nations, inevitably making mankind a second class citizen of planet Earth." - Dr. Jay Lehr |
