4- The WTO Would Privatize Essential Services
The WTO is seeking to privatize essential public services such as education, health care, energy and water. Privatization means the selling off of public assets - such as radio airwaves or schools - to private (usually foreign) corporations, to run for profit rather than the public good. The WTO's General Agreement on Trade in Services, or GATS, includes a list of about 160 threatened services including elder and child care, sewage, garbage, park maintenance, telecommunications, construction, banking, insurance, transportation, shipping, postal services, and tourism. In some countries, privatization is already occurring.
Those least able to pay for vital services - working class communities and communities of color - are the ones who suffer the most.

I fully agree with you. This whole globalization drama is only for the benefit of the big giants with fat pockets. And guess what, this whole preaching of globalization & free market is helping people either get very rich or very poor, which I think is wrong in the long term. The number of people become poor is far higher than those getting richer. There is unequal distribution of wealth.
Nothing comes good out of the U.N

Dubai guy- The concept of globalization is intriguing and even promising...but the thing is, as i see it, its not carried out by principle..thats where the problem lies.
