    We all miss the voice of reason, but his influence is everywhere now. Not pure, but it has spread.
    "Foreign aid is taking money from the poor people of a rich country, and giving it to the rich people of a poor country." - Ron Paul
    "Beware the Military-Industrial-Financial-Pharma-Corporate-Internet-Media-Government Complex." - B4L update of General Dwight D. Eisenhower
    "Debt is the drug, Wall St. Banksters are the dealers, and politicians are the addicts." - B4L
    "Totally free immigration? I've never taken that position. I believe in national sovereignty." - Ron Paul

    gawd, SOME of his comments are a little more than way out there... interesting perspective, "they hate use 'cause..." (not foreign policy?)
