"Now, what you are are saying,if I understand you correctly, in the name of 'trade', we should violate that pact we have made as a people?"

No, you do not understand me correctly. In my view, if you are in favor of restricting trade, you are in favor of slavery since restrictions on trade are just another form of slavery. When you dictate a source of supply, you make the purchaser the slave of the source. If you are so much against slavery, you should be against restrictions on trade.

Well there's "free trader" logic for you. If you want to sell your grandmother, and I stop you, its just another form of slavery? Thats really interesting. No wonder you disrespect the rule of law over our sovereign borders. You don't believe in it.

You nailed it. Here's the logic: if you are against the idea of the government dictating terms of trade, you are necessarily in favor of slavery. We must empower the government to protect our freedoms.
