Fair Trade

http://kickinghorsecoffee.com/company.htm

My coffee is already overly certified as beyond fair trade. Its right proper welfare for the farmer as well as Canada as well as my local grocer. Everyone wins... except my poor assaulted kidney.
 
yeah, but i see this thread is devoted to "fair trade" coffee, i thought you might posted "a wrong link" ;)
 
Its not so much Socialism in my eyes. Its more of a unionized voting block payoff to keep the populations in the jungle belt from hacking it all away. Socialist governing bodies have done anything for the enviornment... in fact, they have actively poisoned the ever living hell out of Eastern Europe and any waterway within 100 miles of them. This is more of a San Francisco socio-weenie tactic.

Think of the Soviet flag in a nice emerald green instead of red.

Sorry, Luis, I still don't get it. :) The title of this thread is Fair Trade. I didn't even mention coffee. :confuse3:


Oh well...coffee's a start, I suppose. :shrug:
 
the makefairtrade link is all about coffee. Coffee happens to be one of the frontline issues at the moment because worldwide prices on coffee have collapsed over the last year leaving the small scrub farmer in the dust.... which somehow forces them into growing cocaine for our enemies instead of another crop altogether. Its just one of those things.
 
in free trade there's only one rule:
the big fish eats the small fish.
 
until there are no more little fish and the big fish starve off and die ... or become small fish all over again. Some small fish get ahead and become big fish and starts eating the small fish all over again.

Don't worry - it wasn't that. Me and Luis are on the same page now :D

i know what you mean (i really do, and i understand it), but as i've seen it with the NAFTA (and as a side note independent of the ethics in the theory) , the big fish does not respect many of the terms in the treaty while the small fish does.
 
ohh c'mon, big fish = USA, small fish = México (and way smaller)
