Nunya,
I have heard a few say that Dr. Paul is wacky. I respectfully disagree.
I think he has done very well in the debates and he seems to be mentally sharp
to me. I like how he mentions the problems the country has, but provides positive
solutions. He is a libertarian/paleo-conservative in philosophy as I see it.
You can probably add classical liberal to that. All three are about the synonymous.
As for the war, there is much contraversy there. I just don't know how the US
can keep borrowing from China to fund it. Then of course, the feds borrow
to pay for corporate welfare, welfare for the poor, grants, loans, foreign aid, SS,
Medicare, etc. etc.

Ah yes, Ross Perot.......the guy on the Mad Magazine Cover.
I couldn't find a character that had those big ears.
Poor Ron Paul.....a good physician, intelligent man, excellent ideas, great policies, and good prospective leader.......but lacks the charisma that would afford him the required necessary public attention to get him elected.

I agree with a lot of Libertarian ideas including this one. I firmly believe you can't/shouldn't legislate morality.
I like everything about Libertarians and Ron Paul except his stance on the war is a deal breaker for me. He does come across a little wacky though 
Kind of reminds me of Ross Perot. I helped Bill Clinton get elected by wasting my vote on Ross Perot. I don't want to do that again.

He's been saying this for some time now, and i too agree with him.
Prohibition was used to stop the "legal" flow of alcohol, but instead, created the "illegal" flow of alcohol, allowing the formation of the Mafia's black market furnishing the drug to the speakeasy's for the public's consumption. The consequences of Regulating morality
Regulate the drugs. Regulation does not mean condoning it. We regulate, nicotine, alcohol, and they are more addicting and harmful than marijuana. We can't regulate morality by sending the Moral Police Force out....that's something the Taliban does, not free thinkers. People still have to make choices. Spending the money (millions) used to run the DEA (moral police) would be better spent on regulation, research and educating the children and public on the harms of drug use/abuse and learning how to establish selfcontrol..... and will save us alot of money that is used for maintaining our citizens sentenced for drug use, in the costly prison systems.
We can't even grow Hemp, one of the most productive type of crops around, because our govt. thinks we might smoke it? There is no THC in Hemp; that which gives the "high". We need to educate ourselves on these things before we pass judgment. Canada did. Bring ourselves out of the Dark Ages by becoming informed and understanding consequences. http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/ncnu02/v5-284.html
