"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

To the trade ministers gathered in Miami,
Medicines are necessary to save lives. In trade agreements, health must be
protected over patents.
The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) negotiations on intellectual
property threaten to further restrict access to medicines in the Americas.
To ensure the protection of public health and the promotion of access to
medicines for all, there should be no intellectual property provisions
included in the FTAA.
Trade Ministers of the Americas, I implore that you uphold your obligation
to protect public health by rejecting intellectual property provisions in
the FTAA.
Sincerely,
