Summarizing his main political points:<br /><br />Lets mind our own business.<br />Lets live within our means.<br />Lets stop criminalizing harmless behavior.<br /><br />Dangerously insane, shamefully un-American.<br />These ideas will never find purchase in the minds of Americans.<br />Go back to sleep.mikeyaustudenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986194041669574561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381613.post-31837881836014785912012-01-08T10:38:13.821-05:002012-01-08T10:38:13.821-05:00My blog might be of interest!My blog might be of interest!Unlearningeconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687413107325575532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381613.post-3309483599420882872012-01-04T05:53:41.301-05:002012-01-04T05:53:41.301-05:00I like Glen Greenwald, mostly.

I generally can accept that the things he declares are wrong, are wrong.<br /><br />But I think he badly underestimates how much damage Ron Paul would do, especially to people who are not privileged the way we white, male, healthy, non-retired earners are.<br /><br />He suggests an "honest" position describing tradeoffs: but he does it in the worst possible light, without explanation of the relative magnitude of the problems.<br /><br />And while Ron Paul may be against the war on some drugs (as I am too), that doesn't mean he can end it, not even as president.Mike Hubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371469964446567690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381613.post-64588939857911335102012-01-03T22:34:00.218-05:002012-01-03T22:34:00.218-05:00If I may, here's something to balance out that...If I may, here's something to balance out that link:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.salon.com/2011/12/31/progressives_and_the_ron_paul_fallacies" rel="nofollow">GLENN GREENWALD: Progressives and the Ron Paul fallacies</a><br /><br />Rest of the stuff I'll taken an interest in, thanks! ;-)Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890229869783893118noreply@blogger.com
