ETA: happy now - let me put it in plain english. If you like this so much I strongly suggest you be of the 1% because I personally believe everyone is screwed by this.See the my rational below These trade deals were not meant for us to all hold hands and sing kumbayah, they were done so someone would profit, as individuals we are generous but the minute we become a CEO or board, we tend to go after all those below us financially The poorer they are, the more viciously they are attacked..

when we can't make laws to protect our food or environment because it would cause someone profit, the ferengi have won.
