No doubt you're right... and you make great points. That said... Don't you
think maybe the consumers could be educated? Don't you think the individual
consumers should decide these things for themselves? If nobody buys anything
but fair trade coffee, then that's what will be sold.

Call me silly, but the notion of throwing people in jail for buying perfectly
legal substances seems a bit Draconian to me.
