Message | Hypocritical for you two to promote civil rights when you are willing to dismantle fundamental property rights and impose draconian environmentalist regulations. Your oppressive communist parties sicken me. |
Date | 22:11:28, January 06, 2006 CET | From | Whigs | To | Debating the Agricultural Bill |
Message | The government can't simply redistribute farm land. People must be allowed to own their own land, without fear of the government controlling it. Also, the use of chemical pesiticides may be needed in case of a food shortage. This law would handcuff the agriculture. Limiting pesticides would make more sense. |
