Ten years later, it's clear: The WTO doesn't work for the people. It is a voracious corporate entity that seeks dominance over the local, the earth-based, the community and people-oriented agricultural methods. Ten years after the "Battle in Seattle" It is the movements of the people that still survive, while the WTO is a moribund organization. The beauty of this is that the people can stand up to the corporations and make the changes that honor the Earth. Communities can determine how to grow their own crops, what crops to grow and how to trade them. There is a living hope that emerges after ten long years.
