    That's naïve. The reason treaties are negotiated in secret is to prevent outside interference with the negotiation process.

That's disingenuous. They're making decisions that affect the lives of 6 billion people. If they had good intentions, they would keep the masses updated on what's happening, and they would respond to our concerns. It's not like we're in a position to interfere with the negotiations anyway.
