I think with the right intentions, trade agreements would be a worthy cause. However, the real intention is to reduce competition outside these continents. The taxation between importing goods from lesser developed countries would put them at a greater disadvantage and make the rich even richer.

Why agreements have to be set specifically to Europe I don't know, just open up all the borders and let everyone trade efficiently!

I am in favor of protectionism at EU borders (not within), so the free-trade agreement, not really in favor (US aren't a cheap-products factory so I'm not completely against it either).
Free trade of Snowden-like agents included? :-D

No. Brute is just far more intelligent than you and takes the proper precautions against Trojans and Viruses.

Well.. yes. That helps against lowlife individuals getting your data.. doesn't do any good against the bigger - more infringing - institutions, but it is a good thing to keep stuff secure from small-time crooks. :P

The talk of this trading away sovereignty is laughable. Has they US been running an autarky upto this point or what? Here's the inside scoop, world trade is regulated to kingdom come as is.

Having said that, not a fan of this deal if it means US gets to peddle its chemically washed poultry and genetically modified produce on the EU market. That kind of "freedom" I'll gladly do without.

I need to sit down, that's about the only thing you've said we can both agree on....not that if this union goes through-it would be limited to food.
