"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

A common reaction to free-trade arguments might be: "You economists care only about low prices and more stuff; there's more to life than things.""
