Ron Paul and the Singularity

Ok. But when you vote for Ron Paul, that X is your signature on the social contract that the statists keep going on about. You're saying that certain forms of taxation are ok, you're saying that governments can do better than the market in some areas, you're saying that voting for the lesser of two evils is a worthwhile choice and that democracy can work. You're conceding the whole game and giving up the only bargaining chip we have, the moral high ground, for a fools hope that Ron Paul can somehow cause a change in the US.

If you give it up for any boy who comes along and whispers the right words in your ear you're going to become the school [censored].

Well like I said, I probably won't be voting. But I wouldn't crucify fellow libertarians who do. A vote for Ron Paul isn't necessarily an endorsement of government, it's an endorsement of Ron Paul and a cry for drastic change. Like I said, hearing much of the stuff he's had to say, I would not be surprised if he's pretty damn close to being an anarchist, philosophically. He is the candidate who is in favor of maximum freedom, minimum govt' intrusion by far. A vote for him is a vote for a more free market economy and more individual liberty.

I don't completely disagree with you I just don't think guys like you and Nielso should be so quick to judge the methods of fellow libertarians who'd rather vote for Ron Paul than sit around with a holier than thou attitude while Big Brother continues to grow and is always looking over their shoulder.
