| Message | Agree with copywright laws; the work and efforts of inventors and artists should be recognised and will provide incrntive for more creativity. Disagree with eminant domain; Vital government works are mre nessecery for the nation as a whole and snyway compensation is given. Disagree with Government policy on energy generation; some resources (which we think of as vital resources) need to be carefully regulated by the government and we feel that if privatised will give undue influence to the new owners, citing speculation over how in RL Russia can influence its neighbors by shutting off the natural gas supply. Agree with National policy regarding the desecration of the national flag; after all it's only a symbol of the nation and not the nation itself, in our opinion if the nation would like to voice their concerns then they should as long as they don't burn themselves or anything else. Disagree lightly with The government's policy concerning gated communities: Isolation from the rest of the world is never a good thing and maybe it will cause feeling of division between the people. Agree with The patenting of software techniques; see copyright |
