I'd like to get to the sources of information people use and help to spark a distrust in the historical inaccuracies taught in school. What better way than to edit Answers.com? The advantage of editing it instead of Wikipedia is that Wikipedia articles are monitored by central editors and Answers.com responses are not under as much control.

I do not mean to wipe out the mainstream views. Doing so might prove unproductive if there is a backlash over the editing. However, I do want to provide an alternative answer (and given the much larger length of the response, show that much more thought has been put into the libertarian viewpoint than the mainstream).

I give the following as an example of one of my edits:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_is_laissez-faire_bad

Could you tell me whether I'm taking this in generally the right direction? I'd like to come up with some standardized answers to questions and post them on those questions which have like 100 copies of them (E.g. Is laissez-faire bad?)

Awesome idea. These answers things should have multiple viewpoints. Some that I've seen do, but it's mostly on trivial things look the origin of the term "the clap" or something like that.
