| Message | We cannot support this treaty because articles 2, 3 and 4 are direct acts of theft, and article 1 is an indirect theft in that by conferring special monopoly privileges on a small group, all other individuals are denied their rights to express their creativity in accordance with their own will. We also find that this treaty is a misnomer - it should properly be titled the 'anti-culture' treaty, since by transferring power and wealth from individuals (who are responsible for creativity) to the state which cannot fully represent the culture of all from whom it thieves the ability of individuals to express their creativity and create their own true culture is diminished. |
