Specifically, where and how?

Go pick up some books by numerous authors, like George Friedman for example.

better yet, Frederic Bastiat's "The Law".

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all.

We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain."


"If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?"

So you have a source but no information, no argument. Very informative.

Baloney, you want to tie up my time by writing stuff that is already in print. Go buy some books, or do some research. On your own time. I already gave you one of the wider known author's on the topic. Here, I'll even give you a specific book. After that you are on your own.

I would love to see you argue against Aerlinthian's point... Just love it, love it so much - I'll just step aside on this one and let him have some fun with the low hanging fruit.

Interesting Des. I disagree though. Public education is a measure against the aristocratic system we had before which simply favored the rich and retarded the poor's ability to improve itself.

One reason I believe America is so great is because even if you die poor, your children have the opportunity for chances that you may have never dreamed of for yourself. This is partly due to a basic level of education that every citizen should expect and demand. Its simply in the countries benefit.

What sort of tard would you have to be that foreign policy is your main objection to Ron Paul?

So in a thread where the Ron Paul camp accuses those against him of not having an original thought, their argument is to go read someone elses work.

Sorry guys, I'm not here to make your arguments for you. If you want me to believe he is right and you guys support him because our current policy is wrong, at least back up your claim with some reasons.

Ron Paul supporters are hillarious. The guy himself is sorta a loon but I don't dislike him. His supporters are something else, though.
