I posted this in another thread, but wanted it to be read and not buried "60th post obscurity" and petty bickering since I'm never around here anymore.

Ron Paul, or anyone true to his beliefs, couldn't get in the seat EVER for the same reason that we'll never see another season of Firefly.

There is simply too many people in positions of power (ie: the ability to give yourself raises that at very worst match inflation on a year to year basis) that have grown accustomed to running the show the way they see fit and Dr. Paul's message of freedom and personal responsibility are a stark contrast to what they desire. (Might I add that he has a track record of always voting against a raise)

It's funny that Firefly's initial run placed the episodes out of the order they were meant to be seen in by some suits at FuX, isn't it?

It's funny how Dr. Paul's message was turned inside out by pundits on either side of the Power Elite spectrum the last two years...

It's funny that I never even heard of Firefly until 3 years after it came out, and still didn't watch it for another year or more at least before giving it a shot, isn't it?

And by then..... it was too late.

Do I even need to mention what we have now and what could have been with Dr. Paul, or the fact that even when I speak of him today that only a handful of people don't ask me who I'm talking about?

It's too late...

There will be a change alright. But certainly not what was sold to us.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope you are all faring as well as I have been. True... I'm going broke in the market, but I still have a job and a roof over my head for the time being. I'm just glad I'm not even 30 yet and have a lot of avenues available to me still. I know the same can't be said for many of us who may be hurting.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and honestly with a majority of the people in the world acting and thinking like I've been for the last 6 or so years in the REAL real world, I can't say I miss it all that much.

Here's hoping you're not all still scratching each other's eyes out and maybe starting to realize that neither "side" is right, and there is many more than two ways to skin a cat.... or something like that.....

We the People....

And if we aren't, then let me be the first to welcome 1984, albeit just a tad tardy.

I love Big Brother....

In the Biblical sense

Peace & Love.... We'll Rise Above

Please elaborate on that theme. I believe it for my reasons, and I've posted it on the boards today. I'm curious as to what change you see coming.

Ron Paul wants Fiscal and Economic REFORM...

That won't fly with 'Populists' who like writing rubber checks...

'...One of the four states that is not insolvent is an unlikely candidate for the distinction – North Dakota. As Michigan management consultant Charles Fleetham observed last month in an article distributed to his local media:
“North Dakota is a sparsely populated state of less than 700,000, known for cold weather, isolated farmers and a hit movie – Fargo. Yet, for some reason it defies the real estate cliché of location, location, location. Since 2000, the state's GNP has grown 56%, personal income has grown 43%, and wages have grown 34%. This year the state has a budget surplus of $1.2 billion!”
What does the State of North Dakota have that other states don't? The answer seems to be: its own bank. In fact, North Dakota has the only state-owned bank in the nation. The state legislature established the Bank of North Dakota in 1919. Fleetham writes that the bank was set up to free farmers and small businessmen from the clutches of out-of-state bankers and railroad men. By law, the state must deposit all its funds in the bank, and the state guarantees its deposits. Three elected officials oversee the bank: the governor, the attorney general, and the commissioner of agriculture. The bank's stated mission is to deliver sound financial services that promote agriculture, commerce and industry in North Dakota. The bank operates as a bankers' bank, partnering with private banks to loan money to farmers, real estate developers, schools and small businesses. It loans money to students (over 184,000 outstanding loans), and it purchases municipal bonds from public institutions.'

" For in every city these two opposite parties [people vs aristocracy] are to be found, arising from the desire of the populace to avoid oppression of the great, and the desire of the great to command and oppress the people....For when the nobility see that they are unable to resist the people, they unite in exalting one of their number and creating him prince, so as to be able to carry out their own designs under the shadow of his authority. "

(Machiavelli, The Prince, ch. IX)
