Hi Folks,

Wow! I can't even remember how much email I received in the last week
regarding the WTO and "Globalization." If I said 1,000 messages that
would be a serious understatement.

In order to relieve you of the burden of being flooded with so much
information, which would have been counterproductive, I instead decided
to send a compilation of the most important sites containing news and
information about the WTO and the events in Seattle last week, which you
can browse at your leisure.

If most of what you know about the protests and demonstrations was what
you read/heard/saw in the mainstream media, you're in for a shock:

in Seattle" at http://www.emperors-clothes.com/analysis/collater.htm )
