Ron Paul Interview

This is an interesting interview with Ron Paul:


Part 1:



Part 2:


It is always refreshing to see a candidate that thinks for himself and tells you his own thoughts, rather than just work on behalf of wealthy special interest groups. Ron Paul makes a lot of great point, but of course I don't agree with him about everything. Namely, he gives too much value to supposed private property rights, whereas I would question any person's "right" to control more than their fair share of natural resources or more natural resources than they are using at any given time. Also, I think Ron Paul is too skeptical of the science behind global warming. The idea that mankind doesn't contribute to global warming is as fringe of a theory as the belief that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, that people are not born gay, or that the Earth is flat. What do you think?
