Debategraph is a community run website that aggregates the known arguments on a variety of subjects. So far there aren't many "liberty", or "free market" debate maps. We seriously need to change that! With a little bit of work from each of us, I'm sure we could gather together lots of sound arguments and increase our arsenal of intellectual ammunition. This kind of thing is just what the doctor ordered for absorbing the main arguments for libertarianism and familiarizing ourselves with the most prominent objections. What do you guys think?

This is an excellent idea.  The liberty minded people should dominate the internets with information and educational outreach.

That is a very good post.  The format is easy to follow.

That is a good idea. The internet is unfortunately full of leftists of all colors, but hardly any libertarians or real anarchists.

A couple big issues libertarians should be focusing on are oil prices, how the Fed is ruining our economy, and universal health care. You can see my post here on why universal health care is a bad idea.
