I think it was probably more complex than such a simple idea: <to infer that the British were defending the Chinese populace right to ingest opium for a greater and freer word is silly.> But yes, I do think freedom was part of the agenda. British ideology was absolutely not an enslaving one at the end of the 19th century. Jay Chen's grandfather was educated to be a lawyer in Britain - that's not exactly slavery. Nelson Mandela was also educated in British law and was protected by it to some extent though the politicians and authoritarians in South Africa deprived him of freedom. Freedom is not the norm among "just folks". Freedom doesn't exist anywhere, though there is more of it in some places than others. Down with serfdom, up with Tradable Citizenships and Libertarian lives. Mqurice
