...one should know and understand exactly what's in a legally binding agreement one is asked to sign?
Folks... here's all you need to know about Obama's TPP (Trans-Pacific
Partnership Trade Agreement)
* * *

The Obama Administration released the full-text of the
Trans-Pacific Partnership deal on Thursday.
Tipping the scales at 5,544 pages — and an astonishing
2,056,560 words — the trade agreement is one of the longest documents The Daily
Caller has ever encountered, and for the sake of comparison, we compiled a list
of things shorter than the baffling proposal:
The Bible: Authorized King James Version: 1,746 pages …
TPP = 3.18x longer.
The Affordable Care Act (official Government Printing
Office version): 961 pages … TPP = 5.77x longer.
The Entire “Harry Potter” Series: 3,407 pages … TPP =
1.63x longer.
The Entire “Lord of the Rings Trilogy” AND “The Hobbit”: 1,488
pages … TPP = 3.73x longer.
A Game of Thrones, 5-Book Boxed Set (HBO Tie-In-Edition):
5,216 pages … TPP = 1.06x longer.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Wordsworth
Royals Series): 1,280 pages … TPP = 4.33x longer.
New Oxford American Dictionary 3rd Edition: 2,096 pages …
TPP = 2.65x longer.
Folks... every word will have the force of law. This is
insanity.
As an addendum to a newsbite on Doctor Carson's reported
support of the Treaty... this brings me towards reevaluation of my formerly
expressed view that "perhaps Carson is right and I'm wrong."
My friends... as a basic matter of principle... signing
on to something one doesn't understand inside and out... that one can't -
literally can't - understand inside and out... is a bad move.
