[Are you for or against free trade? That is to say, freer than now. Forget about whether it is free now or not, which is a different question. ]

I will answer that by saying since free trade is just a textbook theory I don't know. If you ask do I like what we have - no. Do I want it to continue as it is - no. Do I want it to get worse - no.

But when you can show me how free trade works, I can answer you question. Until then, it is only a theory. We haven't see any.

And I like Walter Williams also - but I don't think he has much of a sense of self-preservation - he gives his wife ironing board covers for a presents!! A little attempt at humor - but he said so himself.

Nonsense, it happens all the time, away from the prying eyes of government.

But you don't seem willing to answer the question, so tell me what you think of the theory as you call it.

I buy from and sell to anyone I want anywhere in the world. It is no concern of yours, except in THEORY. So now what? You like it? Or you send some thugs with guns to stop me?
