Yes yes yes!!!!!
I'm usually the one who goes on these rants!
Free trade is evil.
We also try to buy as locally as possible - support your local small farmers, store owners, etc - not Walmart, Target, Kmart, Circuit City, and all the other blood-sucking corporations.
Don't be another tool of the global corporate conspiracy to make profit at the expense of human beings' lives.

I reccomend what we do as far as coffee is concerned -
We have standing order with Green Mountain Coffee, which has awesome coffee and is based in Vermont, which is the state we are moving to, due in no small part to the fact that it is a very politcally conscious state and where most large corporations are discouraged from doing business, so that local small companies may flourish.
There aren't (m)any large agri-businesses, just small family-owned farms who do very well because they are well-supported and encouraged by the community.

Huh.
I should build my own journal from this stuff!
