Basically is allows any company out side of the USA to sue the USA government if the US hampers or otherwise prevents the sale of their product. Just ask California about it.'

I don't agree with most of our (the USA) foriegn policies... Because most of them are merely a tool for the rich to get richer as you say. But Bush and the republican party support the WTO (World Trade Organization) and other Groups that would do everything that NAFTA did only over most of the world... So I go back to my original assertion that there is no difference between the Democratic and Republican parties, They do the same things call them different and bLast the other side for it.

Didn't upset me, I personally agree with you here. One symptom of the current system is seeing people more as consumers instead of producers. Unemployment is a prime example... When in an agrarian society would there be unemployment? There wouldn't be much because everyone has their own land farming for their own food. It's only when you get into mass-production that you start making so much junk you don't need more producers, just more consumers. Unemployment and social castes (rich, richer, and poor) result. Don't know if I even understand that one sentence. Anyway I'd just like to say, excellent arguments all around.
