No more tuna.

enemies. Money is the only bottom line and we are expendable.

Yup guess what? Obama ran on renegotiating NAFTA. So politicians have run on that, hoodwinking and bamboozling the voters. The global corporation run Washington.

We're on our own. So don't buy tuna until they properly label it.

My family just won't eat anymore tuna. Ocean is so polluted anyway. But this is extremely lame. US shouldn't be giving up it's sovereignty at all.

when dolphin safe labeling was being debated (that was when this country still had debates). The argument against not slaughtering dolphins was that it would raise the price of tuna by as much as $.02 a can. I am not making this up. A woman I was seeing at the time would have accepted the extinction of the entire Order Cetacea to save a couple of cents on a can of fish. She was an uber consumer. She had been raised to be that way. In many other ways she was a very good person. I quit seeing her anyway.

I will neither vote for nor aid any politician or political party that does not fight to withdraw this nation from the WTO or overturn this ruling. I swear it.

The WTO is a diabolical organization, and I do not mean that figuratively. Those who do its bidding bear the mark of the Beast.
