Pearly, I'm sure you are correct. I discovered the exchange between you and Craig, and didn't have time to read half of it. I'd thought I'd begun to gleen that you were taking the stance I now see you clearly are, but assumed I was wrong when I read the lines I confronted you with there. At any rate, I think your are correct, and that indeed, the evidence is overwhelming. Despite Craig's attempts, I for one have seen no evidence that Free Trade is a prescription for disaster, quite the opposite, and nothing but the opposite. He speaks of free trade fantasies to me, but the only fantasy I see is the notion that any country, even the strongest of countries, can be self-sufficient in the "produced within" sense that Craig, Pat B., and so many others are so concerned with where war is concerned. I know that war or not, the impossible remains impossible, despite all the tariffs the world of imagination can conjure.
Thanks very much for the clarification,
