The bill of rights is amazing and everything is an anti-pattern. The bill of rights explicitly says what you are allowed to never have done to you. Where as most laws try to prevent specific things. I am not saying law is black and white, but it is certainly difficult to understand, simplicity is important.

> If you made TPP a concise document with 5-10 specific objectives they would all be litigated for decades to decide on the very same special cases that are detailed in the 2,000 page agreement.

I started reading the TPP today, but I didn't get far enough to form an opinion, although I suspect that would be ideal. In a world changing as fast as ours having an agreement span 3 decades seems laughable.
