Unfortunately the US did sign on to it...........HOWEVER.......Bush has NOT sent it to Congress for ratification. It goes into effect without our ratification because on 40 countries needed to ratify it for it to take effect.

That's the truth. :)

Once we have banned everything unsafe, un-environmental, sexist, violent, indecent, mean to animals...... the world will be a boring, yet safe place for liberals and wimps to live.

I'm really against screwing because I've seen too many lives ruined and too many machines damaged by the arrogant behavior of screwers, but even screwers sometimes reform.

Look at the links in posts 33, 34, & 35 in this thread on the same subject for WHO's priorities.

There is much it/they could be doing, but rather choose to play around with somehting that brings them $$$ and ink, but does nothing to deal with real problems.

And of course the detestable Philip Morris is all for it:

Di Giovanni Tommaso, a spokesman for Philip Morris, the world's largest cigarette manufacturer, said: "We look forward to continuing to work with governments on making sure different regulatory systems complement each other.

"We sell our products in more than 160 countries and in all of them we target adults and support regulation of the industry."

FairOpinion is tired of the UN making a one world government! Go figure.

When FO supported Arnold, she was warned that she was signing onto the Sierra Nevada Conservancy. Such is exactly the type of regional governance specifically advocated in the UN CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY.

Even though the US rejected the treaty, it is being implemented anyway by globo-socialist politicians like Arnold. You can bet the State's creditors buying our bond debt stipulated this kind of straitjacket for them to manipulate for fun and profit.

Sorry, the above post was for you, too.

I wouldn't want to deprive you of yet another opportunity to learn penitence.

You just had to bring Arnold into this.

You are getting to be like the liberals: everything is Bush's fault.

According to you, everything is Arnold's fault.

I have to complain to him about the small earthquake last night, that he caused. (/sarcasm) (There really was a 2.9 earthquake in So. CA)
