They even put up a <a href=\"http:\/\/maketradefair.com\/\">maketradefair.com<\/a> sign projected on the back wall of the auditorium.  Now I&#8217;m all in favor of free trade, and I know some aspects of it are advocated on the fair trade website (dropping agrigculture subsidies, for example) but honestly, I don&#8217;t want my entertainers preaching to me.
