My strongest political interest is in the area of International
Anti-Trust Treaties.  These are consistent with the goals of the Free
Software Foundation, and with the policy of recent White House
administrations to reduce trade barriers.  They would apply to markets
other than software, but could have a signifigant impact on the
international software market.

If anyone has information about this concept, or can tell me where to
look for more information, please contact me.  I would also like to hear
from people with similar interests, and eventually get a policy
statement from the FSF regarding their level of commitment in this area.

International Ant-Trust Treaties are important because many less
prosperous countries are overwhelmed by the economic might of the United
States and other industrialized nations.  I have heard numerous
anecdotes of situations in which powerful interests have taken unfair
advantage of the local economies of poorer nations, causing poverty and
economic degradation.  I believe that terrorism is primarily motivated by 
a frustrated reaction to overwhelming competition.

The benefits of International Anti-Trust Treaties are many, and the
detraction will only affect those entities exerting undue influence on
disadvantaged competitors.  I welcome any support in this area,
including initiatives by anyone more motivated or connected than myself.
