Here's Who Suffers For Sergey Brin's Stand On Principles
- sophacles 17y agoHere's who suffers for Abe Lincoln's stand on principles: It's great that he wants to end the institution of slavery and all, but it isn't so clear cut as it sounds. Heres who loses: - poor farmers who can barely afford to work the fields with free labor - slave ship owners - a select few tribes on africa's west coast - anyone who likes cheap cotton or tobacco NOTE: I am aware that my response is a bit over-the-top, I'm using absurdity to point out the problem I see with the argument, not saying that businessinsider.com is endorsing slavery.
