Figured it was about time we did this. The Ron Paul thread kind of served that purpose, but it's about time to retire that one and go with a broader theme.
Anyways, thought I'd start this off with this cool bit of history I learned today. Cold-hearted economists like David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill staunchly argued against slavery. Their side of the debate was countered by bleeding hearts like Charles Dickens and Thomas Carlyle who argued for it. Kinda interesting. Freedom rules.
