Re: Most of these groups are concerned with generic drug issue said by amungus:Seems you also forget that elected representatives are also obligated to disclose WHAT they actually do... They work for us, we don't work for them. And when the treaty is finalized and submitted for ratification, then you get to see what they will vote on. Why do you think you are entitled to drafts and works in progress?
I know why these groups want to see the drafts - they want to sabotage the whole process because they want piracy to continue. All part of their anti-corporate jihad.

I've watched your comments for a long while... I can't tell if you're just looking past the bad and trying to squeeze out some good or what.
I wonder if George Bush would ever think about using one of his mighty signing statements to stop piracy. I mean, he's already used them to stop the Bill of Rights.
Why aren't we entitled to see his signing statements? Why did the president give himself the power to be a legislator?
What do you think about that? Aren't the terrorists winning if we let them rape our Constitution?
p.s. terrorists=pirates? Right? Riiiight. Mkay. |

That's why I AM ENTITLED.
Why might you suppose that Americans shouldn't be fully informed of business centric legislation, that further restrains citizens?

Because in out democracy the drafting is being done by my representative. I have a right to know what my rep is doing.
Perhaps you are not familiar with how a democracy is supposed to work. |

Perhaps you are not familiar with how a democracy is supposed to work. And perhaps you don't understand how treaties are negotiated. They are done away from the public eye or no treaty would ever be drafted due to pressures brought by populist groups from around the world.

Look at our copyright laws now, and look at the sorry state of our patent system. These knuckleheads are the ones we're letting talk in secret?
One thing is clear -- our government and our populace are not on the same page WRT intellectual property. And the longer we keep pretending that we are, the longer we delay the solutions that would benefit artist, inventor, and consumer alike.

Well that didn't take long....six posts until some clueless one blames George Bush, lmao!
Has it occurred to you that George Bush might not even be in office when this treaty, IF it ever happens, goes through? Might be your Golden Boy wielding that mighty pen. And if you think he won't, think again. His corruption runs deep.

united state | I wasn't blaming George Bush. I was asking him specifically what he thought about Bush and his signing statements. It was basically unrelated to the discussion going on.
Thanks though, it means a lot to me to be called clueless.  |

He's a typical one-bit corporate shill, full of lies and hilariously obvious mispresentations.

[BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.
