Yes, I would like to EXPORT ideas from my mind, such as capitalism, free trade, individual rights, and other concepts that are IMPORTant to freedom and civilization -- but it seems that most people aren't interested.

Everyone wants to be the self-anointed arbiter of other people's lives, and be in full control of what others are allowed to think.

Thankfully, the antonym of import is NOT deport. That would supercharge the discussion.

We could add another definition here, and then eventually maybe that will become the primary way people use it!

Not as far as I know, but if so, I would be a very enthusiastic Wikipedia editor.
