Between canada and the European Union which gives corporations from the other countries the right to sue your government if they dont like what youre doing. And so these companies if ttip is signed between europe and the United States, any municipality in the United States that privatizes their water, well, they have a very hard time changing their minds because these companies can sue for compensation.

They were living in this little house with no running water, no indoor plumbing and they are giving a bust of a great english literary giant to their sister for her birthday present. There is a lot of hope in that. I think what i would like to get to know even more about was the sense of purpose they had. It sounds like a bad pun, but high purpose.
