North and South, independent of each other. And
private companies would supply all law enforcement.
Dig a little deeper and you find the guy is a nut.
I have been following this guy's antics since the early
80's since my Gov. professor pointed him out as an example
of how anyone could gain political office if
enough people were dropped on their heads
right after they were born. A ref. to his profession.
But then again, Adolph Hitler moved an entire
group of people under the proper conditions.
Ron Paul scares the crud out of me.
I hope you only like the ideas on paper.
No offense meant.

Ron Paul is a joke. I am a Republican but if Ron Paul got the nomination I would have to vote for Hillary. Ron Paul was on the Tonight Show a few weeks ago. He said that the US is partially to blame for 9/11 because of our foreign policy. I nearly fell out of my chair.
But when you consider some of the things he has said in the past, it's really not that surprising. He is amazingly dishonest. As you are aware, he said a ton of outlandish things in his newsletter and now he has the nerve to say that he didn't know what was in his own newsletter and didn't write it. How could he think that people would be dumb enough to believe that he didn't know or approve what was in his own newsletter? In his newsletter, he speculated that the Mossad may have been behind the first attack on the World Trade Center. He would actaully be better off if he claimed that his views have changed, rather than deny that he knew what was in his newsletter. It would be more believable for him to simply say that he has changed his mind about some of the things that he said in the past.
Anyway, I don't need to tell you about Ron Paul. I know that you live in Texas and know all about him. And I have always respected your opinion because you are not a partisan. I actually do agree with Ron Paul on some issues, but he is so far out there on some things that I couldn't vote for him if he was the last guy on earth.
