| Message | Article 3 in particular shows a complete lack of real life experience on behalf of the Green Party. These highly restrictive measures may seem the perfect solution in an utopian setting but in a country like ours where the economy is weak and our extraction industries are up against international companies, these measures will put Baltusian companies out of business. I hope when you breathe in the pure, fresh air from the top window of you ivory tower you will think of the real people down below struggling to find enough money to feed their families.
