"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul
"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
Seems like a rather entitled chap.
Hopefully it's just a bad first impression.

Hi, Sam Harris! Welcome to the Ron Paul Forums! Enjoy your time here! Enjoy your time at other places, also! Assuming you're allowed there. But even if you aren't, enjoy your time there before you're escorted out.
Are you related to the famous Dr. Sam Harris?
That's a trick question, because we're all related to the famous Dr. Sam Harris! Indeed, we're all related to the galactic dust, and everything else.
Speaking of which, the below is an excellent lecture by neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris, one of the main leaders of the New Atheist movement, at a June 2016 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference.
* "Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris", TED (TEDtalksDirector), Oct. 19, 2016
Mirror: https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris...ontrol_over_it .
As Dr. Harris points out, unless there is something literally magic about the operations of the brain, then it is a purely physical process that can be replicated via advanced-enough technology. Harris further points out that given any rate of progress, it is inevitable that superintelligent godlike machines will one day be constructed. So Harris believes in the existence of gods, it's just that he knows--as do I--that they exist in the future; and the not-so-distant future, at that. Therefore we come to the ironic insight that materialistic atheism, consistently applied, unavoidably results in theism. Consistent scientific atheism turns out to be theism.

Ah, yes. Thereby implying that this forum is thereby the aforestated "Jungle", as the title of the song would have it.
Now is that really putting our best foot forward for newcomers? I should tend to think that such an implication presents us in a bad light, given the thematic elements contained in that song, and given what the so-called "Jungle" entails.
Others might well disagree with how we should offer a hardy howdy-do to our fellow chaps, but this just tends to strike me as rather apropos. Good call.
This actually brings my mind back to a previous episode on another forum wherein a denizen there expressed to a new arrival, "Welcome to the madhouse."
Due to Axl Rose's drama, Guns N' Roses never did get around to writing that song. To my deep chagrin, as then I could have just posted their music video of that song, thereby saving me numerous words to such effect in support of the antecedent welcome.

I'm sorry. No offense intended. Would this be a better welcome song?

"No offense intended"? Nay, rather defense must have been intended!
As I pointed out, the "Welcome to the Jungle" song by that obscure band Guns N' Roses is rather apropos to our forum.
Although the horrifying nature of your new prospective welcoming song is indeed enticing, still I see no thematic elements regarding jungles contained therein.
Let us stick to the ancient jungle tradition regarding these matters rather than get caught-up in the newfangled Munchkin beguilements. Let us not be lead astray by their squeaky voices, as horrendously mesmeric as they are.
