What does CAFTA say about sustainable development?

Do you know who created sustainable development?

How does sustainable development view private property?

The WORK they do still has to meet code, and THOSE requirements aren't going to change;

You are still missing my point (on purpose, I think). Part of the agreement in CAFTA says they foreigners can challenge the licensing process altogether if they feel it restricts their ability to trade in services. Do you really want foreigner to have the ability to challenge state licensing laws? I guess you do.

...hell, there are american(sic) workers that can't meet code requirements ...

How is that possible. You just said the work has to meet code.

Just like a rabid super-capitalist; can't pass up a chance to bash American workers. Unless, of course, you are not American and then it would be only natural. Any excuse to allow cheap labor into the United States.

What else do you dislike about the "rabid super-capitalist?" Anything else about capitalism you dislike? Are socialists or communists or environmentalists less likely to "bash American workers?" Why is the observation that some do not follow the Code considered bashing? Why is that observation capitalist?

All I know is that they want control of the health food industry. With CAFTA you can kiss over the counter vitamins and supplements good bye. Thanks WTO!

Have you read this?

My thoughts are since new regulations have been passed overseas concerning supplements we will be now be under the WTO and as you know everytime we challenge this world body we lose.
