Cancun Fair Trade Action Reportback

Today was the "big march" against the WTO in Cancun so when the big government cheerleaders walked over the hill, Crashers greeted them with our "Fair Trade" Soda Stand.

We offered thirty protestors two prices for Cokes, Sprites or Bottled Waters: fifty cents or two dollars depending on whether or not they wanted to pay the free trade or fair trade price.

Not surprisingly, 2/3rds chose the less expensive free trade price making it the choice of this generation.

A group of anarchists formed a human chain around the Crashers because, like governments, they wanted to limit the peaceful trade between individuals. Or maybe the were tired of their fellow protestors looking like fools.

Later a Mexican vendor set up shop in the exact same spot so his supply could meet their demand.
