We are coming at this from positions so far apart, it's not even worth discussing further. No offense, of course.

Whoah, there buddy. If the most productive use for land in a river valley was as a resevoir, you'd howl like a stuck pig if the government flooded the property in that valley without fully compensating the owners of the property. How is free trade so different? Free trade helps some people at the expense of others. Full compesation is a reasonable demand. If free trade results in some people taking jobs that pay less, why shouldn't they get some permanent benefit like an earned income tax credit?
