Its a document that authorizes the transformation of national governments into mere subregional entities that report to hemispheric "civil society" where the citizen is nothing and business interests and NGOs are consultants to government. It is a document that authorizes the creating of "working groups" who develop "initiatives" that governments must follow to adhere to the trade agreement. The "initiatives" will eliminate borders and integrate, in the case of NAFTA, CAFTA and the FTAA, all the countries of the western hemisphere into one bloc.
I'm not sure I would use the word "document", maybe volumes, or libraries, but document, is iffy. Those poor poor dead trees.
Have you read the agreement or do you know where I can find a copy of it online?
Sometimes I have problems sleeping, I figure reading it might get the job done, its either that or listen to a taped Kerry speech on "nuances".

It won't help you sleep. You will lie awake at night, terrified at the life your children and their children are going to lead when all sovereignty is lost and the US is but a cog in the Western Hemipsheric trading bloc.
You will need a dictionary to translate the terms they use. It is a combination of communese and bureacratese. For example: when they talk about "trade capacity building" or "capacity building" they mean "take money from the US taxpayer and give it to foreign governments and foreign corporations to build roads, power systems, water systems and other infrastructure. It means using our tax money to buy computers and set up offices for foreign governments because they are too greedy and stupid to do it for themselves. It means using employees of federal agencies on the taxpayer dime to go to these countries and set up their systems for them.
