It's a pity that Harry can only make his points by misrepresenting me. I am well aware of the US double standards of demanding FT from others while practicing protectionism itself (e.g. in the steel trade). I didn't say that the US has "an internal free market", but I said that if FT is really only about domestic trade, as Harry surprisingly claimed, then I wish him luck in introducing FT in the US, and only there. The literal quote (from yesterday) is appended below. Chris [Harry:] > A free trader wants to abolish trade restrictions in his country. > If no other country wants to free its trade, that doesn't matter. > The free trader will unilaterally free his country's trade and by > doing so will remove the corporate privileges that go with > Protectionism. If it's like this, then please act to introduce Free Trade in your country only, and get your gov't to STOP pushing FT down everyone else's throat (as in establishing FT areas all over N.+S.America and the Middle East, and bullying Europe, Asia and 3rd world into removing "trade barriers"). Good luck in doing so, Harry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SpamWall: Mail to this addy is deleted unread unless it contains the keyword "igve". _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://scribe.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
