I want no part of anyone who wants to
restrict my right to trade with anyone that I want.

I'm interested to see that you are violently opposed to the trade embargos on Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Iraq, Yugoslavia, etc. You were certainly adamantly opposed to those people who sought to restrict trade with South Africa in order to pressure it to abandon Apartheid. (Without international pressure, if the WTO had existed back then, it's perfectly possible that Apartheid would still be the law in S.A. Which I take it wouldn't bother you, since S.A. was a capitalist country and since "Capitalism is good for everyone" it was obviously good for the blacks as well as the whites.)

I used to be an ardent capitalist myself. But like others, I have seen to much of the down and dirty side of unrestrained capitalism.
