I'm torn because as a diehard protector of all things beautifull naturall and culturally I would love to say yes but the capitalist part if me wants me to vote yes and increase my economy.

So I'm going to have to be a coward on this one and Abstain.
 
Okay, so most of you are voting NAY, but you give no reason for this. Why are you voting against?

Is it that you would rather leave a flawed law on the books and let it continue to be abused as much as this resolution has or are you just afraid of leaving a gaping hole in the books?

Are you afraid that it won't be replaced with something sufficient enough?

I am honestly curious. I'm not trying to give anyone any grief about the way they are voting, I just want to know the reasoning for it.
