I think they are against people trading one thing for another thing....or maybe just if the person on one side of the trade is from Country A and the person on the other side is from Country B.... So if I own a company where a bunch of people work their sses off for years gaining the knowledge to invent a medicine that cures cancer, I guess I am only supposed to sell it to people who live in my country..... Unless they are in South Africa, in which case I should just voluntarily give them the drug's formula and then take the first flight back home to work my ss off some more curing some other dread disease. This "movement" against trade is the most unfocused, bizarre thing I have seen in years......but then again, maybe I just don't get it. As usual.....<g>

I lot of them seem to have a pretty fuzzy idea of what they are protesting You hit that nail on the head. It's the same story with many protesters and many causes. My favorite was an anti nuke clown trying to get me to sign a petition because the radioactive steam that ran the turbines escaped and caused sickness for miles around. When I attempted to explain to him that the secondary loop doesn't come into contact with the reactor and that the steam was no more harmful then the steam from his coffee pot he called me names and told me I was stupid. I was looking at stupid but it would have been a waste of breath to point that out.
