Bill: A Waste of Our Resources
Details
Submitted by[?]: Romantic Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2250
Description[?]:
| Logging is currently unknown in Alduria. It could provide jobs, in the actual felling of trees, the processing of lumber, the shaping of lumber, and would provide better, cheaper materials for housing and would, overall, improve the economy of Alduria with little expense to the environment (refer to our tree planting policies, and the limited nature that this would allow) This would also allow tree farms to exist under state supervision, which are the most common areas for logging in other countries. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy concerning forest protection.
Old value:: Forests have strictly enforced protection. Felling is limited to fire breaks.
Current: Forests are protected. Logging is allowed by licence only.
Proposed: Forests are protected. Logging is allowed by licence only.

| Message | Trees provide coca farms with valuable cover from government crop spraying planes. Bendiri farmers livelihoods must be protected at all costs. |

| Message | Bendiri farmers can go straight to hell! Since they saw fit to provide us with barely 3,000 votes, we see no reason to do anything for their benefit. Bah! |

| Message | Coca farms are illegal, and if that is your justification, you are an idiot. Especially considering that it is capitalist greed and not economic circumstance taht would cause a farmer to grow narcotics. |

| Message | An excellent point. Collectivize the Coca farms! |

| Message | I may be an idiot RP, but at least I proof read what I submit. |

| Message | (I am half asleep, and rather tired of having to post. I apologize for this and a few other butchered posts.) Collectivized coca farms would make the state a leader in enslaving people, and an organ of exploitation. No. |

| Message | An organ of exploitation? I'm sure you meant a vehical for popular liberation and equality. |
| Date | 03:02:51, July 04, 2006 CET | From | Romantic Party | To | Debating the A Waste of Our Resources |
| Message | No. Making the state a distribution agent of an addictive substance is not liberating, and perpetuates inequality. |
| Date | 04:27:51, July 04, 2006 CET | From | Radical-Revolutionary Party | To | Debating the A Waste of Our Resources |
| Message | Not if we only sell it overseas. |
| Date | 05:46:19, July 04, 2006 CET | From | Romantic Party | To | Debating the A Waste of Our Resources |
| Message | Yes, then we are simply oppressing foreigners. It also makes us a pariah among the nations which spurn the drug trade. |
| Date | 08:44:35, July 04, 2006 CET | From | Aldurian Labor Party | To | Debating the A Waste of Our Resources |
| Message | We don't like this bill at all. Much like the education one. |
| Date | 23:23:44, July 05, 2006 CET | From | Romantic Party | To | Debating the A Waste of Our Resources |
| Message | Quite simply, vote for overgrown, wasted forests or for happy, employed and prospering Aldurians. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
