Which reminds me: If you're sharing today's meal with a protectionist, remember that the best side dish for a turkey dinner is an oversized helping of economic education.  Nothing says "Thanksgiving" like a heated family argument about free trade versus protection!

I like that.

There's no one here to argue with though. I'm the only one who cares and so it turns in to lecturing on my part.

That's why I'm reading these posts I suppose.

Liberty Fund logo, amagi symbol
The cuneiform inscription in the Liberty Fund logo is the earliest-known written appearance of the word "freedom" (amagi), or "liberty." It is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.
