I've become a fan of Ron Paul as of lately.
Of course not everybody will agree 100% on all the things a certain candidate may have... So with this guy, I don't feel like I did in the last election... I felt before like I was voting for a piece of cat-sh1t instead of dog-sh1t.
Ron Paul seems decent. Still doing lots of reading.
Of course I'm not going to vote for the guy simply because he wants to legalize drugs. I'm a little bothered if that was your main point about the man. The process of legalizing drugs, and WHICh drugs are to be legalize will have to be looked at CLOSELY. I'm still for order, as I am for peoples' right to decide for themselves.
The MAJOR problem I feel that people will face is NOT BEING EDUCATED on what they are doing in life! Especially on rec drug use, OR the use of aas.
People can get themselves into a LOT of trouble health-wise, so there is a factor of EDUCATION that must be taken into consideration.
And I still dont see the problem with that? I think that is the entire point, let people make the decisions for themselves about what goes into their bodies. Whether they choose to educate or not is their perogative. When did politics become so altruistic? Ever heard of survival of the fittest? If some jackass is stupid enough to put some illicit drug into their veins that is proven to cause medical problems, it is a widely accepted FACT, then I say go ahead, the human population is all the more FIT for survival now that we've weeded those dumbasses out of the gene pool.
Im sure that a lot of Americans can make the same argument about you/I chosing to put steroids into our bodies. They might say "Well, we cant make it legal because what if those guys aren't educated on the dangers, WHAT IF." See my point, it is up to the INDIVIDUAL to educate themselves before putting something into their own bodies. If they chose not to, they suffer the consequences, I think the intelligent human beings are soon seperated from the not-so-bright over time with a policy like this.
I like the guy for other reasons as well. Eliminate the Income Tax.
I would like to think this would put more money in the pockets of hard working Americans.
Even if the taxes on products were raised, I still would rather have THAT than an income tax. Hopefully eliminating income tax will promote spending within America! And enable families to create a buffer in their budget rather than living from paycheck to paycheck as many Americans do.
He also made the comment in an interview that I watched, about how money isn't backed by gold etc. Very interesting topic on how he wanted to give the DOLLAR greater worth.
I think the man could do a lot of good for this country
Maybe fix some foreign policy
Time will tell.
At the point I hope he does well enough to win.
