How about this for a fair trade?

(via Reason) Trade'ja one leftist racket for the ability of farmers to make a living.

Its like outlawing private enterprise,

said one Honduran coffee grower who was nearly wiped out by hurricane Mitch because being part of a co-op, ('folk marxist' obsession,) disqualified him from another trotskyite fetish fair trade. Its just another shakedown by crackpots who just cant seem to live anywhere on this earth.

«Berkeleys politically-correct tyrants conspired to place on the November ballot a measure requiring all coffee sold in the city to be brewed only from beans carrying a fair trade, shade grown, or organic label. Critics have noted that this wacky law will require coffee cops and a coffee-control board, and that it will do more to harm than help poor people who grow the beans in Third World countries. »
