New York Times (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE3DA1538F934A25753C1A96E9482 60) October 17, 1988
He tells his audiences that the Federal Government has only one role: to protect liberty. And, he explains, the only rule worth following is that one must not harm another person or his property.
If elected, he says, he would abolish public schools, welfare, Social Security and farm subsidies. All drug laws should be repealed, Dr. Paul maintains, a position that drew hisses at the university.
Dr. Paul believes that America should leave the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and not contribute to other nations' defense. He has no trouble saying which new nuclear weapons programs he would cut: all of them.
In his first year in office, Dr. Paul says, he would cut one third of the Pentagon budget, or $100 billion, and $100 billion in domestic programs. Put this money ''back into the economy,'' he argues, and everyone will be better off.
Frightening how much the government can influence people's opinions towards stuff. University students booing and hissing the legalization of drugs, WTF? The students were fed the "Just Say No" crap during their formative years courtesy the government, no one wants to be the outsider so they all just chant their slogan and not question what the government has taught them.
