Is Ron Paul Serious?
I just read this on Economist.com, http://www.economist.com/world/na/di...ory_id=9946972
[ QUOTE ] He also wants to dismantle the Federal Reserve and return to gold-backed currency. He has always opposed the war in Iraq. He wants America out of the UN, the WTO, and any other international arrangement. He strongly supports home-schooling and, of course, gun ownership. [/ QUOTE ] Can anyone go into some depth on the advantages of these? I'm particularly interested in a discussion on dismantling the Fed and returning to the gold-backed currency.

[/ QUOTE ] Ron Paul discusses "The End of Dollar Hegemony" Rothbard; "What Has Government Done to Our Money?" These are good places to start. And to answer your question, yes, Dr. Paul is quite serious.

Re: Is Ron Paul Serious?
"We unnecessarily cede our sovereignty, some of our money and some of our power. We entangle ourselves in foreign affairs as the Founders warned against."
In exchange for ceding some of our sovereignty, money and power, we get in exchange the opportunity to influence world events. The most powerful and influential member of the United Nations is the United States. The problem with the UN is that it needs to be structured in a way that more fairly reflects the reality of the political, economic and military power of its members. (That will not be happening any time soon!) It would be nice if we paid a smaller percentage of the UN budget, but money gains influence. Unfortunately in today's world it is impossible to avoid entangling ourselves in foreign affairs.
