Haven't gotten around to reading it yet, been pretty busy with school. Has anyone else read it? How was it?

What are your thoughts on Ron Paul and Libertarianism?
Kizzume
Generally I don't like libertarianism because it believes in privatizing just about everything, including education, and it doesn't put any limits, restrictions, or regulations on the way that business can be conducted, and it still allows for religious values to be instilled in our laws.

But when our government has become SO huge and out-of hand, and corruption gets to the point that it has, and Ron Paul seems to not be lock-and-step with libertarian values, I think someone like Ron Paul could do this country a lot of good. I would prefer Dennis Kucinich, but if I had to choose between another typical democratic politician and Ron Paul, I'd choose Ron Paul in a heartbeat.

And you wonder why I call you out for being a right-winger. Ron Paul is no different from any other corporatist politician. That you would gladly pick him over a given Democrat speaks volumes.
