The whole TPP is "cause for alarm". Like the similarly secretive Multilateral Argeement on Investment of two decades ago, the TPP reduces we'uns natural persons (AKA citizens of putatively free and more or less democratic nations) to the status of krill and establishes "investors" as the only truly represented citizens of the "partneship" domain. In '97, the MAI shriveled in the light of public scrutiny. It's time for the TPP to get the same treatment. -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada
