| Message | Article 1: No. We would rather see 2 dozen lab rats die than a single human. Article 2: No. Banning commercial fishing will create a glut of unemployment and cause fish - a healty food and the poor man's junk food - to skyrocket in price. Article 3: No. We cannot condone wiping out an entire industry like this. At the moment there are jobs and exports from this natural resource. Article 4: No. See Article 3. Article 5: No. Private hunting is generally for an individual's own food needs. It has mininal environmental impact and keeps our people's stomachs full. Article 6: No. See our response to article 1. Article 7: No. Production will drop, food prices will increase and we may be forced to import food. Article 8. No. We believe current standards are adequete. We should not have to further eat into the profitibility of our industries. Article 9. No. This will effectively turn thousands of cars owned by poorer Likatonians into lumps of scrap metal. Article 10. No. Again, current legislation is quite adequete. Why should we have to replant at higher levels? This will add a burden to our economy it should not have to shoulder. So, after much deliberation we have decided to vote against this proposal. |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
