As usual, Harry can only make a "point" by twisting my words beyond recognition.
It is the dose that makes the poison. Contact between peoples is certainly possible without the immoderate, excessive mass air travel and cargo transports that the "Free" Traders advocate just for profit maximization for the few. It is most hypocritical to use contact between people(s) as a pretext. These days at the WEF in Davos we can see first-hand how much the "Free" Traders _really_ care about popular contact and free travel: Barbed wire, road-checkpoints all around Davos, no-go areas even for locals, army helicopters and fighter jets buzzing over our heads, etc. Talk about not even leaving the house !!
