Quotes: Ruwart, Mary


Sanctions: 3Sanctions: 3
As individuals, we can certainly refuse to buy products from countries that engage in unsavory practices and encourage others to join our boycott. However, by making the boycott a national policy, we take away the personal freedom of our neighbors and impose our will on them. In other words, we try to change an oppressive regime abroad by becoming oppressors ourselves at home! The result: less freedom in the world, instead of more.
