and they had video, and some hand-out where they were comparing this to Stalin's collectivization efforts and Mao's Great Leap Forward. Incidentally, my wife and I recently watched a documentary about Mao and it featured a huge segment devoted to the Great Leap Forward, and I've read extensively on this time period where China essentially lost an entire generation with Mao's crazy bullshit, and to compare Agenda 21 to either of those is the height of hilarity.

I've downloaded the whole thing though (all 300+ pages) and will dutifully read through it (I'm an attorney, so it won't be so bad, don't feel sorry for me), just in case there's a section tucked away somewhere that reads something like: "The United Nations shall have absolute authority and discretion to commandeer and exercise control over the Treaty Nation's military forces, where the United Nations is of the opinion that such control is necessary and appropriate to implement any section of this Treaty." I'll cross my fingers...
