It has always killed me that so many people settled with the President's statements about hatred for our freedom being the reason (as Giuliani restated after the debate, thus losing even more of my respect as a politician). It is such a dumbed-down way to explain it to the masses.

Seems like you're pretty ignorant on the issue. http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0199/et0199s11.html Popular Mechanics, in February 1937, predicted hemp would be the world's first "Billion Dollar Crop" that would support thousands of jobs and provide a vast array of consumer products from dynamite to plastics.

So, like yeah, the definition of a nut, then, is an intellegent, principled man who dares to have an opinion unlike your opinion. That you would smear him as a nut while not bothering to explain why his position is irrational is powerful evidence that your position is irrational and you are at least vaguely aware of it, and too cowardly to defend it. No surprise. If you think your rights include monitoring and regulating the body chemistry of your neighbors, you are insane with fear. If you think you have the right to prevent them from growing an industrial plant because it resembles a recreational plant you disapprove of, you are not just insane, you are sadistic. You write:

That's just the kind of principled man that he is. He's a real statesman. His voting record for 30 years in and out of the House shows it. The criticism of him is just grasping at straws... The good doctor is the only one who can and will create positive change in the US government. Please spend a little time learning about him and make an educated decision. Viva Ron Paul!

Until now there hasn't been a candidate for president during my voting career that garnered more than a lesser of evils vote from me. It gets frustrating to see his treatment by the mainstream media (for the most part) as a "wingnut radical with no chance" when all of my research seems to indicate he's anything but that. At any rate, thanks for the article. Didn’t mean to come off as abrasive, it’s just I’ve spent a fair amount of time researching Dr. Paul after hearing a few things that piqued my interest.
