Dr John J. Ray, my polymathic friend Down Under, replies to my post about free trade. I should clarify my stance. I'm not saying there should be no trade. That would be crazy. I'm saying that we Americans should protect certain of our industries, such as steel and automobiles. Yes, there is a price to be paid for these protectionist measures, but I, like Pat Buchanan, deem it a price worth paying.
