Awesome-o, fix yer link, dog.
the problem with ron paul is that he treats all problems -- social and economic -- as simple, and promises simple solutions couched as dogma. human society and the economic structures that spavine it are anything but. he's a snake oil salesman. anything he croaks from his aged libertarded maw must be factored against that one inescapable truth: NOTHING ABOUT PEOPLE IS SIMPLE.
When his idiot son was on the Daily Show a little while back, there was a pretty amusing/head banging exchange:
Rand: The EPA is killing every industry in America!
Jon: Don't you agree that we need regulations to stop people from polluting our air and water supply?
Rand: But we don't need to worry about such things. The "scientists" talked about how the ozone hole would be expanding forever, and acid rain would be happening all the time, but it didn't.
Jon: But that's because there was legislation that was enacted in the early 1990s that curbed CFC and sulfur emissions and the like.
Rand: Exactly, and now we don't need them anymore!
Jon: But then those things will start happening again.
Rand: But we've just proven that the government didn't need to get involved at all.
Jon:
Rand:
Jon: :'(
