 TM> China and central Asia who will have to pay stiff licensing fees

 TM> seed stock developed by their ancestors and owned in common by

     Ty  -->  Do you really mean that the seed companies that have
     developed a "lab-made" seed can force farmers who use their
     "nature's made" [because chemically it is the same seed]
     seed [not even purchased from the "lab made" seed company],
     will have to pay royalities.
     And will this not create conflict between the "nature's made"
     seed companies and "lab made" seed companies   OR  will the
     "lab made" seed companies crush the nature seed companies
     thru the means of an INTERNATIONAL  TREATY???
     
 TM> Its every bit as pernicious and insidious as slavery was.
 TM> Its corporate colonialism, new world order style.
     Ty  -->  Sounds like an international corporate colonialism
                   dictatorship.
 
 TM> You are about to lose your (ever fewer remaining) rights as a

 TM> Its called the WIPO treaty and its part of the global government
 TM> created by the GATT.   President Clinton has asked congress for
 TM> "fast track" (i.e: no discussion or debate of the issue - just a
 TM> straight up or down vote on an agreement that most
 TM> congresspersons have not read and don't really understand)
 TM> authority to implement the next stage of these agreements that
 TM> are costing you the rights which our forefathers and mothers
 TM> fought and died for. 
 TM> Regards,
     Ty  -->  By the way, what do the initials WIPO stand for?
     Also, can congress persons like Senator Hatch stop the
     "fast track" steamroller?
