And a kick-ass dude to work for. Last night we working into the wee hours of the morning and stepped outside for a smoke break. He was telling me about growing up in Lebanon. Then he asked me what I knew about the Fed. I asked him what he'd been watching on the internets and he said a friend had sent him a link to Money as Debt. So we discussed the Fed for a few minutes then I told him about Ron Paul chairing (hopefully) the Domestic Monetary Policy sub-committee. He said "I like that guy, I voted for him 2008. His foreign policy is fair." I'm going to bring him my copy of End the Fed.

Although I think some Sharia rules are just silly, and others plain evil, I have read Sharia economic laws, and think they are the best for promoting economic freedom.

Ironic, that a system that is so economically free, should be so dismally socially totalitarian. I mean, really, no beer?! no bikinis! WTF!

Here is an article I found on the free-market traditions of Islam.

That's awesome that you created your account in '07, with the name FunkBuddha. Obviously AquaBuddha would have been cooler. (now)

My older Saudi friend is pretty much the same, as is the Lebanese restaurant owner up the street.

I met a woman who works for the federal government.

Similar to your experience, she wasn't evil...just a person who belonged to an organization that is in direct opposition to my freedom.

I've got the .pdf. About where does the section on Islam start. Unfortunately the pdf isn't searchable.

If somebody made that name in 07 they would have infinite rep points!
