I can't believe this bill is passing, it's just not right. It's going to have a negative impact on me and my community. This is just another example of the government overstepping their boundaries.

I can't believe they're actually trying to pass this bill. It's like they have nothing better to do than waste time on pointless legislation. This is just ridiculous.
