Message | Who in there right mind would think there is ANYTHING wrong with the current law? All it states is that people will be encouraged to travel collectively for environmental/pollution purposes, and gives resonsible people a tax break for buying their hybrid vehicles. I'm totally opposed to this bill. |

Message | Are you totalitarian? Quote: Who in there right mind would think there is ANYTHING wrong with the current law? The right of free speech, and the right to criticize the laws in effect are things that make Selucia a democracy (or particracy ;-) ), take that away and you get a totalitarian regime (you would probably like it, but I don't) |

Message | I was asking why, in anyones right mind, would they be opposed to this law? A totalitarian is someone who supports using espionage to overthrow governmetns in other nations, like you. A democrat asks questions, like what is wrong with encouraging environmentally sustainable transportation mechanisms? You still have not answered that very basic question. |

Message | *Could you please quote me while I was saying we should use espionage to overthrow governements in other nations? The answer to your question: Quote myself: Because the governement doesn't have to decide about this one My Car - My Freedom is a popular quote in Selucia, we should respect it |

Message | Ok, so you made up a quote, and based on a quote that you made up, you are supporting a change in the law? You'll have to do better than that. As for the overthrow comment, you have stated that you are opposed to my change in our espionnage laws which would eliminate the practice of using covert operatives to overthrow other governments. Your support of existing law equals support for that practice. |

Message | Quote ssp: Your support of existing law equals support for that practice. Well, maybe the new law was even worse - If we should have a socialist governement, I wouldn't like that, but if someone would ask me if I would like to change that into a communist governement, I of course would NOT |

Message | We don'T see any argument underlining the proposed law as the better one, sorry. The current law in effect doe not deny the right to buy as many cars as someone likes to do. It just gives those persons a relieve who are buying an inviroment friendly engine. |
