| Message | 1) So expencive, the proper funding would probably exceed our entire budget. 2) Hi Mr. Dictator Man, you don't own the place, you just run it. There's a difference. I think I'll take your computer because I feel like it now. 3) Hi, yes, you don't like anyone having rights do you Mr. Dictator Man? 4) Expencive, unnessicary. 5) Expencive, unnessicary. 6) Expencive, problematic as the service level/response times would likely decline. 7) Law when one isn't needed. 8) Too much governmental power. 9) No opinion -- don't care 10) Expencive, takes power away from prefects. Big daddy here wants to take away our rights, freedoms and increase taxes. What do we think of that? We think your title is extremely accurate. |

| Message | The Rexerians are in ageement with the Daiokurans on this bill, in all of its points. except the post office, in which we do care. We favor privatization in all matter not strictly related to the governining of the nation, and those matters include the postal/parcel delivery system, the education system, the provision of transporation, energy, health care, and all other commercialy viable ventures. Furthermore, the people of Zardugal, by majority opinion, favor privatization and capitalism over opressive governmental regulation. And that, above all other reasons, is why this bill is not going to pass. |

| Message | When elections are held, all bills in voting status are regressed back to debating status automatically. This bill will mature following the April 2201 elections, so any votes cast now will not be counted. |

| Message | Various parts i like. 1,4,5,6,7 10, 11. The other give far too much power to the government over the people. We should ensure a standard of living and safety, but we do not need the government to control the people. Government can abuse just as easily as businesses, and so themselves should still be limited in the power they are given... By the way... Id be much obliged if yu went here: http://www.moral-politics.com/xpolitics.aspx?menu=Home&action=Test&choice=Long and took the test and posted yur results on the countries board... That goes for the rest of you too... i think this test is slightly more informative then the PC. |
