| Message | We agree. |
| Date | 16:18:08, February 17, 2006 CET | From | Social Democrat League | To | Debating the Logging |
| Message | We don't really agree. We feel it is important to keep our nature intact, and thus the destruction of forest is something we cannot allow. |

| Message | However, please take notice that licenses will be issued and as the Assembly, we can stipulate to the number of licenses issued, how long that license is in effect, and how many trees that license allows a logger to cut down. Also, keep in mind that we do have re-planting laws as well to ensure that our forest does remain intact while not hindering our enjoyment of fine Malivianese hard woods. |

| Message | How can we be sure that the government won't go for the profitable way out and opt for a destruction of our forests? |

| Message | Real Malivian hardwood trees take decades to grow, even if we plant more than we fell, it might unbalance our delicate ecology. We want assurances that the 'valuable' trees of our environment will be protected. |

| Message | The assurance that the SDP seeks resides in the Assembly itself. If the people cannot trust us to do what is best for them, then why are we here? |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
