One WTO bigwig admitted as much in an article for the *Financial Times* newspaper, saying the WTO "is the place where governments collude in private against their domestic pressure groups." [Guy de Jongvieres, "Network Guerrillas", *Financial Times*, (4/30/98), p. 12.] By 'domestic pressure groups', he meant labor unions, environmentalists, human rights activists, public health advocates, and any community or citizen's organization which tries to hold the feet of corporations to the fire of public safety, health, good wages, or the protection of the environment. Down with the WTO! It seems he covered all bases man. Great job!
