:03:03
So it was all over the place.
:03:04
A lot of people read about it,
:03:06
including a guy who had another
domain name called gatt.org.
:03:09
And, of course, GATT is the
Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade,
:03:13
and it's the predecessor agreement
to the World Trade Organization.
:03:16
And he said,
"If you could do this for Bush,
:03:18
then maybe you can
also do this for the WTO."
:03:23
The WTO is supposed to be
sort of a United Nations of commerce,
:03:27
a conglomeration
of all these countries in the world...
:03:31
that get together every now and then
to discuss trade policies
:03:35
in how exactly goods will be bought
and sold throughout the world.
:03:40
I'm sure, originally,
the stated purpose of the WTO
:03:44
was to help these countries
who are developing
:03:48
so that, you know, the world community
can help raise them out of poverty.
:03:52
In fact, what it's done is
it's allowed large corporations
:03:55
to go in and exploit these people
even further
:03:59
so that Americans
become even wealthier
:04:02
and the people in these countries
continue to struggle to get by.
:04:06
And I think that's-
at this point it's upset quite a few people.
:04:26
So I gotta try
and remember where Sal lives.
:04:29
It's a little bit complicated. There's, like,
this snaking road up over the hills.
:04:33
And who is Sal?
:04:35
Sal is a friend who I met in San Diego,
:04:39
and he moved to L.A.
to work in the movie industry,
:04:42
and that's why now he does,
actually, costuming professionally.
:04:47
He builds, like, weird suits
:04:49
out of pretty much
any material you can imagine.
:04:52
And so, when we needed a costume,
I knew who to call.
