I still stick to the notion that any willing seller should be permitted to deal with any willing buyer on what ever terms they freely establish between themselves.

If the playing field is level and both parties abide by agreed upon terms then there should be no government interference...

Historically, less governmental impediments to free trade have generally created efficiency and prosperity. The free flow of goods and services exchanged on voluntary terms by willing individuals is beneficial, except to the inefficient. You are quick, or you are dead in the market.

I don't know if this makes me a libertarian or a trader, I only know what I see, and what history teaches.

Then you must oppose CAFTA. The only groups that will be able to set the terms are the Transnational corporations. Individuals have no place in the WTO global trading system. They are even setting up a pseudogovernment called "civil society" created by the United Nations as a means to eliminate individual rights. There is no place for citizenship nor individual rights in the world of the future if CAFTA and the FTAA are implemented.

Even the south American countries eager to plunder the US citizenry of their taxes do not want their sovereignty to be eliminated, but as with Britain joining the EU, the people will not be allowed to vote on it. Our politicians either believe the claptrap about the world can be one happy placed based on rule by international institutions, or they are getting too much money to turn down the organizations pushing for CAFTA and the FTAA. Either way, the American people have lost their representation to the globalist crowd, and stopping CAFTA may be our only chance to save our country from integration with the rest of the hemisphere.
