| Message | Without the regulation of ecology this country would start on a slow path of decline. After we had raped our land of its natural resources we would slowly decend to the status of a third world country. I am sure all the other parties are sensible enough to see that. Just remember everything has a reciprocal. If we allow our inside to be ruined what chance do we stand for acting on the outside? |
