>The extraordinary lack of coverage of Ron Paul  - Eric de Carbonnel - Market Skeptics
I haven't decided on anyone. Election day is over one year away... whom will you vote for? Out of all who are running, which will make the greatest president in this coming election?

I understand your points above, I don't necessarily agree with them on a personal level (neither of us have any indication how the Paul camp would respond).

-- On the Libertarian point - wouldn't you agree that we have too much regulation at the moment, and the knee-jerk reaction for the bureaucrats on all levels, for almost any issue is, "we ought to make a law about it...we ought to create a new department or branch of gov't to deal with it..." Toning down this gut-reaction and establishing clear jurisdictions doesn't equal anarchy.

Do Libertarians agree with the US using force on foreign gov'ts because we don't agree with them on issues? Such as Libya, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan? If the fed forces itself on states, would this not be the same as the US interfering with foreign gov'ts?

-- Your guess that the South would have expanded slavery even further is as good a guess that buying all the slaves and immediately setting them free would have completely avoided the Civil War.

The fact is (unfortunately) slavery is profitable for slave owners. Slave owners - US or foreign - would naturally want to expand slavery, yet most other countries ended slavery without the bloodshed... Why?

That's a discussion better had at the bar over a few beers when concerned individuals can play the "Time Machine Game"...
