What do you think? Perhaps Stef can do an episode on this? This article is being linked and discussed already on some boards. Thanks for any and all thoughts.

^^^ Agalloch, I agree of course, but a couple of notes: 1. It can be argued that voting for Ron Paul is a protest and a move against the state, not a validation of it. Paul is an admitted anarchist, he is simply taking small steps to it, since he is afraid of scaring the brainwashed population who are afraid of the word anarchy. 2. Paul does have a record of being honest, if anything more honest than other politicians. Thus there is a chance he will order troops back as a commander in chief can etc. Given the ever increased powers of the executive branch of government, Paul would have an effect more so than a simple ornament on a hood of a car. 3. ok. Technicalities: 0. I know, just wondering. 1. I know... 2. I know... 3. I know...

<--- thru Ron Paul. I wonder, in a purely fantasy situation, if Ron Paul was one vote away from winning the presidency, and everyone voted except Stef. Would Stef take a walk down to his local public school and vote for Ron Paul?
