yeah- just throwing my 2 pints of gasoline on:
the "free" market is a misnomer. it's a bully market. and the biggest
bully wins! [the winning condition is to get the most money]

look at NAFTA- who's more free? the government of Mexico, of US, of
Canada ... what about the workers at a manquiladora in ciudad ju?rez
... what about you ... what about the corporate board of monsanto?

"free trade" like "free market" is only a propaganda label. the
economic reality is much different ...
