Well gee, if you know a guy from irc who says the Govt's shit... well it just has to be! Some of you guys just seem like paranoid freaks. You complain about Australia the whole time... well we don't have no damn NSA, CIA, FBI, etc etc... That authority is to prevent sex and excessive violence before the kiddies bedtimes. Big deal. If you think that these people are gonna change the way I think then you're all crackers!
The failure of all this to pick up on the fact these nutcrackers are aiming at the WTO is ludicrous! These people are sad and confused -- any reason to get out there and protest and they'd do it. They looking for a target, something to blame the modernisation of the world on. The WTO just seems to be it. These are people who've lost jobs in old industries -- agriculture, mining, unionists trying to clasp on to the past. They're conservative in the extreme, they don't want squat diddly to change... and that's what the WTO is standing for. CHANGE. Removing the barriers, allowing the free-market to work all over the world. Of course this serves the need of large corporations -- but it serves the needs of small business, it serves the need of consumers. Only old-industries in highly advanced countries will benefit. Farmers in the US scared of cheaper imports and losing all their subsidies. And to blame the WTO for human rights failures is like blaming the Department of Agriculture for human rights failures. You're picking the wrong target! Corporatism does not equal WTO does not equal Congress! They're linked, sure, but they're not the same! The entire article also assumes the fact that the US is ruling the world. Maybe your congress relies on "donations" from big business. That doesn't mean the rest of the world does. To say that the Scandanavians are at the WTO only making sure that big business succeeds is ridiculous. What the WTO stands for can only be described as good. It's breaking down the old 18th century barriers and allowing the globe to work as one. Where's the problem?
Stand up for our rights? The WTO is about freedom, breaking down boundaries! You want to stand up for 19th century tariff walls? The fact that these people get out there and protest is simply because they don't understand. They're the idiotic type that get violent when their simple little brains get overclogged. Imagine this scenario. Governments around the world prevented you from accessing any web page that is outside your country. What the WTO would be doing is attempting to remove this boundary - it is about stopping tariffs, creating a global marketplace. These are commendable goals, not ones that should be protested at...
