    Or you can go by his actual record. Where he has intentionally attempted to subvert the us constitution and remove the oversight of the supreme court over religious based state laws. If it had passed, states would have been free to violate individual civil liberties by endorsing specific state religions.

    Yes. Ron Paul is an anti-constitutionalist, anti-libertarian (he only cares that the federal government is neutered, he loves the idea of the individual states violating peoples rights), a hypocrite, a liar, a theocrat and anti-American traitor.

    Economies of scale. The price is relatively high due to the low volume of production. These are hobby boards. The only reason you can build a $200 PC right now is because the hardware gets production runs in the millions or more.

    Many of them did.

    Many of them lost the majority of their income and power (at least until they could expand into drug distribution).

    And a very few of them realized that they could still profit by playing inside the law and dropped their other criminal activities.

    In any case it dramatically reduced their power and influence.

    Yes and the chip foundries engage in bloody turf wars over who get to supply Apple with the next batch of A5 chips.

    You are completely missing the point. Legalizing drugs isn't to get production local. It is to neuter the criminal organizations that currently control drug production and distribution.

    It actually makes a lot more sense to produce drugs locally, except we could also legalize it and completely eliminate the violent crime aspect.

    The problem is that most of the people in favor of revolution are not the kind of people I would want running the show afterwards.

    People who want the "right" to oppress their favorite minority.

  17. Re:Oh shocking on Law Professors On SOPA and PIPA: Don't Break the Internet · · Score: 1

    Ron Paul believes that the bill of rights does not restrict state governments from violating peoples constitutionally guaranteed rights in direct contradiction to the 14th amendment and the constitutional purpose of the US Supreme court. As such he has promoted laws that would prohibit the US supreme court from evaluating the constitutionality of specific sets of state laws. Particularly in relation to abortion and religion. This would allow states to violate the constitutional rights of citizens at will. This is the hard truth, and the reason he is a traitor to the libertarian ideals he pretends to respect. If you believe in libertarian ideals, you can not support Ron Paul and the actual policies of most "states rights" advocates.

    "States rights" is is nice way to say "I want to remove peoples rights, one state at a time".

    Ron Paul only supports states rights because it is the only way he can bypass the constitutional rights of freedom of (and from) religion. He is a hypocrite and anti-constitutional.
