Say you then that all "social interaction" is commerce?

Your point that you arbitrarly claim one definition over another? Silence can be a virtue. In a quiet place you may be able to start reading up on Liberty and Commerce. The Federalist Papers -- even the anti-Federalist Papers.

The "blessings of Liberty" that's pretty much commerce in the sense of the times the Constitution was written.
