He's not a racist. Those comments were written by a staffer, not Ron Paul. Don't believe the smear campaign. They're trying to get him any way they can and that's the ONLY thing they think they've got.

Why should ron paul be the geek candidate? He is the only one who has consistently opposed unconstitutional expansion of federal powers, including the regulation of speech, internet, and what you eat and smoke.
He also was on the banking committee for several years and is one of the few candidates who understands the massive difficulties our fiscal policies have caused since introduction of the Federal Reserve in 1916.
Most people have their heads in the sand about the shit that's really going down today, as a result of this leviathan federal government, and our empire abroad. Lets go down the checklist for tyranny and see how the US matches up.
1) National ID card and tracking database. (german accent) <i>"Papahs pleese! Show us yoah papahs!"</i> Total information awareness collects data on everyone.
2) Warrantless searches. NSA is scanning a large percent of US citizens email traffic (illegally). Sneak and peek searches authorized for FBI.
3) Right to a fair Trial / Habeus Corpus. Nope, that's gone too with the Military Comissions act of 2006. They can kidnap you on US soil, lock you up indefinitely and torture until you go insane (see the Jose Padilla case).
4) Martial Law. Wha? Nope. It's real. President now has the authority to declare martial law for... "Other Reasons" (unspecified). It's in the law!
5) Property Rights. Loooong gone my friend. Since the 80s brought in 'civil forfeiture' they can take your house, boat, clothes for a marijuana joint. Want to pay someone for a blowjob? You lose your car. Carrying large amounts of cash on you? Sorry, that's ours too. Want to earn some money? Nope the IRS will take a bunch of your income, although there is no LAW permitting them to do it. (Look It Up)
6) Concentration camps. Excuse me, <b>what?</b> Yes, the USA now has about 800 concentration camps dotting the countryside.
7) Free speech. Umm yeah well you still have it ~in theory~, but are you gonna speak your mind when the above shit is all plausible?
And we've still got people watching tv and voting on american Idol.
If that's not the kind of government you want. Start educating yourself and others on limited constitutional government. De-fund the american empire abroad and the police state at home. Get the film 'Money as Debt' and Aaron Russo's IRS film "Freedom to Fascism".
If you can read and think. It's your duty as a citizen to educate and lead joe six-pack and sally soccer mom to start demanding their rights back.
Ron Paul is our wake-up call! Restore limited constitutional government and Rule of Law!
Does me heart good to read about Plato and MECC. I had Friends on the Plato in '81, and it completely changed my life. How many years passed since then before graphical massively-multiplayer gaming reached the masses?
MECC and Plato were WAY ahead of their time, and as with all such wonderful things, they were doomed to extinction.
But we have the memories... Somebody oughtta write a book on the whole scene. Too cool.
1). You are comparing the BEST of yesterday's pop music to the WORST of today's pop music
2). Most 60s music was CRAP. you only
remember the best stuff - beatles, floyd - etc.
5) Pop Music has become more commercial - learn to ignore it.
17) There is an amazingly diverse REALM OF NEW SOUNDS to be discovered. If you are closed to it, that means you are a calcified old corpse. Either get napster and RE-open your mind, or drown in your comforting coffin of creedence clearwater.
Most of the cancer-causing chemicals are created by _burning_ plant materials (toboacco, or others).
While doing my research stint at the Institute of Human genetics, I attended a symposium by an MIT reseacher who proved that all cyclic hydrocarbons produced by burning plant matter generated cancer-causing substances (Fall 1990).
To avoid the cancer-causing effects from whatever you smoke - just heat up the plant material - do not burn it. The popular english term is "vaporizing".
I have worked in cancer research. Cancer sucks. Don't do this to yourself. Please vaporize - don't Burn - tobacco and other smokeable products...

I just spent the evening talking to three relatives who grew up in Nazi Germany.
They were one of the few families in their hometown who had a radio - they tuned in to hear warnings of oncoming American and British bomber squadrons that were systematically carpetbombing the German civilian populace.
They told me of the horror they experienced when they accidentally turned the dial to a station that broadcast allied radio. Why? The Nazis had made it a crime punishable by death to listen to allied radio broadcasts.
Now you, frekio say "don't even talk about drugs because it might get you in trouble."
This is an analogous situation. People who are not commiting a crime (by any reasonable definition) are being persecuted by a state (the US), and you advocate that we all pretend that this is all hunky dory. Everybody toe the line! Nobody say anything while the state machinery puts hundreds of thousands of innocents in concentration camps (federal prisons).
WAKE UP. We all have a responsibility to speak the truth -- this IS a free society isn't it? Or is this Faschism?
The Nazis usurped power and executed every dissenter. YOU live in a democracy. The world's "lantern of freedom and liberty". Right? So PLEASE make some use of the freedoms you have left. This is realty. You leave a legacy. You have a responsibility.
We ALL DIE. DEAL with it. Do something with the rest of your life, and the freedom you have left.
Most intelligent geeks experiment with a drug only after reading/learning hard facts about them. Not one geek FOAF tried any drug through peer pressure - or because it 'was the cool thing to do'.
But that should hardly surprise anyone.
I also should mention that out of the 5 professional Microsoft admins and security officers I have met, ALL drink heavily.
I like RTF too - but did Microsoft really author it? I recall first seeing RTF around 1991 as an internet-centric file format.
MS seemed to push the.DOC format over.RTF, and I thought that was because.DOC was spawn of MS, while RTF was not.
I could be wrong.
Political persecution and intolerance continues to thrive in the good old fatherland. Funny how some things NEVER change.
Sad to say most Germans fail to grasp the irony.
Now that everyone's eyeballs are on the internet, the blood-sucking lawyers (worldwide) are extending their tentacles...
Freedom of speech? What's that?

Okay.. Lookey here.
