Voting Process Error/Bug

When submitting a proposal, if you select "Free Trade" for the category, at the bottom, it says "Strength: Mild/Significant/Strong." Instead, shouldn't it say "Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing/Uranium MIning/Wood-chipping/All Businesses" at the bottom, just like it does for the "Environmental" category?
This could be intentional, and it has been stated that no changes to the voting process will be made, but I feel that this is more of a typo or a mistake than an actual thought-over decision. Please review it and tell me what you think.

You have a knack for going around and finding bugs...
Free trade affects a lot more than just industries. I think a "bug" of this magnitude would've been discovered a long time ago if it truly was an issue.

True. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing...

You would be surprised how many "bugs" there are (no offence, admin :p), but I think it is debatable.
Let's wait and see what other people think.

We are of the opinion that free trade doesn't just effect one industry.

Each of the proposal categories was designed by Max to affect certain statistics at the expense of others. Why he limited Environmental so severely I could not guess, but he didn't make the same limitations to Free Trade.
You'll also notice that Free Trade is paired with Social Justice in Cogitation's August 30, 2004 edit to "Before you make a proposal..." , and that Environmental stands alone. Since Coggy has access to the actual coding of these proposal categories, I think it's safe to assume that the effects are intentional and not a bug.
