This is an interesting interview with Ron Paul:
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?

Great site Scott! Thanks for your comments on mine. I will have to link our websites. I am a big fan of Ron Paul.
It terms of Global Warming and from a scientific standpoint...because there is still evidence that seems to contradict Global Warming it is important that we verify and replicate that data on many levels. As a scientist I am VERY hesitant about media involvement in scientific issues. I have a great video on www.thediaryofananarchist.com where John Lennon shows his skepticism for "Overpopulation" and of the video "Global Warming Swindle". And I think one must be aware of the political motivations and rewards for such a stance when the science is still being validated. However...we can still act to preserve our beautiful world by recycling, being greener, and doing the little things etc...without taxing the poor of the world.
Great site Scott!
