Question – what is up?

Has this post degenerated? Or are we merely revealing the fundamentals? The nation is confronting the excesses and looking for leadership and concrete solutions to the problems and losses in prosperity and civil liberties that have been exposed – slowly but surely. Do we not need to know the function of government before we can allocate resources to it? The impetus of my arguments drive at the notion that the fundamentals in gov’t and “the economy” are being assumed, but not audited. Which is why people that I listen to for leadership make the claims that these measures we see being proposed by so many (in the three branches of gov’t) are not going to fix the problems but exacerbate them. This is why Ron Paul always stresses that we cannot address these issues without confronting the role of government in our lives. That’s why he is my President, by choice.

Barry Cooper talks about current drug laws and the criminal justice system causing more harm than the drugs themselves.

Call-in show with Barry Cooper. Free Talk Live interviews former Narcotics Officer now “turned to the good side and working against the current drug war.”

Also, don’t miss Ian and Mark talking about the the Liberty Forum (@roughly 50 minutes in). I attended the first one in 07 and would highly recommend it to anyone

Here Ron Paul is at the ’08 Forum.

He mentions young people: For the record, I am 28.

My brother is younger than I and has much more understanding of the issues. He pointed out very succinctly the exact significance of Ron Pauls Campaign: It is the first time in America’s History that a Presidential Candidate adhered to both Libertarian Principles and Austrian Economics.
