Understanding leads to disappointment

Like for example, when one begins to understand that the American government values the enforcement of intellectual property rights over more abstract things. Things like, say... getting enough medicine to live.

The Blog | James Love: Making enemies - the US/Thai FTA negotiations are bitter medicine | The Huffington Post:
"It would be nice if US citizens had more information about US foreign policy. If they did, they might understand why so many people hate us.

This week US trade officials are meeting with Thai negotiators in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to hammer out details of a still secret deal between the US and Thailand on what is inaccurately called a 'Free Trade Agreement,' or FTA."
