One of my favorites also. Spooner was an advocate of fully informed juries as well.

On the contrary ... they were so important that the Progressive Education Movement white washed them from our history books.
One thing I've noticed about you dukie ... you've really had your brain washed clean by these people. A shame, really.
Do not use commas in a series unless you have more than three items. Did anyone say anything about your parents? Your reading comprehension is completely fucked bro. Have you had brain injuries in the past?

Your Libertarian heroes just weren't important,inciteful,intelligent or profound enough to make it into general history class.
Brain injury? Maybe I boxed for 3 years including a handful professionally. But I am still lucid enough to know your heroes have zero influence and deserve their place in the dustbin of history.

I take that back. He did one good thing in life other than be a right wing anarchist
He wrote a book about The abolition of slavery.

The goal of Monopoly is to break all competitors and send them to the poor house, just like modern day pure Libertarian economies.

Famous Libertarians Part 4
Ludwig von Mises
Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises (German pronunciation: [ˈluːtvɪç fɔn ˈmiːzəs]; September 29, 1881 – October 10, 1973) was an Austrian-American economist, historian, philosopher, author, and classical liberal who had a significant influence on the modern Libertarian movement and the Austrian School.
Mises wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of classical liberalism and is seen as one of the leaders of the Austrian School of economics.[16] In his treatise on economics, Human Action, Mises introduced praxeology as a more general conceptual foundation of the social sciences and established that economic laws were only arrived at through the means of methodological individualism firmly rejecting positivism and materialism as a foundation for the social sciences. Many of his works, including Human Action, were on two related economic themes:
Mises in his library
Mises argued that money is demanded for its usefulness in purchasing other goods, rather than for its own sake and that any unsound credit expansion causes business cycles. His other notable contribution was his argument that socialism must fail economically because of the economic calculation problem – the impossibility of a socialist government being able to make the economic calculations required to organize a complex economy. Mises projected that without a market economy there would be no functional price system, which he held essential for achieving rational and efficient allocation of capital goods to their most productive uses. If capital goods are the subject of neither rent nor exchange, as per private ownership of those means of production, then no barter terms or money prices can arise for them. Without the common nominal index of money pricing that allows comparison of costs of production to likely revenues, there can be no rational allocation of diverse capital goods in the production of diverse consumer goods whose production requires some use of scarce capital. In a socialist society, capital is not distributed according to the more efficient—thus profitable—capital structures, but rather to any use a theoretical socialist planner sees fit without the aid of monetary price signals to compare the profitability in a given use of capital.

Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand: A Leading Lady of the Classical Liberal Tradition
Rand's novels, including Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, emphasize individualism, a fundamental theme in classical liberal/libertarian thought. Rand also contributed to that tradition by modernizing and popularizing the ideas, which lead to the creation of new social movements for freedom in the 20th century.

That is what everyone said about Nikola Tesla, Galileo, the Wright brothers, and many many more. Obviously, doesn't make that truth.
