I own my own business that I started from NOTHING. I employ 5 other people whom I pay well and I treat them as I would want to be treated. My business plan calls for hiring 30 more people over the next three years. I want no part of anyone who wants to restrict my right to trade with anyone that I want. If I want to send my goods overseas and if they want to send theirs back thats our business and I don't see why anyone else should even have an opinion as to whether what we are doing is right or wrong as long as we are not involved in anything illegal. Sorry for the run on sentences, but I am passionate about entrepreneurship and capitalism and I will state my mind and I will disagree with you every step of the way. Capitalism is good for everyone. What do you think everyone should do? Sit at home and grow their own food on their half acre lot? Reality is knocking. Wake up.

Well, I was quite active in both the civil rights movement and the anti-Vietnam War protests, and while there are major differences, I have to agree with you that peaceful and nonviolent direct action is as appropriate now as it was then. I wish I could have been there to lend my support to the 30,000+ peaceful marchers, and help identify and try to stop the 100 or so vandals who provided the excuse for Mayor Schell and the police to suspend the U.S. Constitution.
