Sustainable development = Controlled development. Controlled by an ever increasing, ever encroaching, ever anti-liberty government. Sustainable Development is the anti-thesis of individual liberty ... it would be the death of the free-market. It is meant to be.
As Colin Powell said ... "it is very compelling". Compelling is the operative word. We will be compelled if we are not very vigilant and allow them to have their way. I for one will never acceed to it.
