I totally agree that there are major problems with capitalism for sure. I would mention Michael Moore's doc film "Capitalism: A Love Story" as a excellent critque of the capitalistic system, AS A WHOLE. But I think many of you equate this with the free market. So if you don't like Ron Paul's message because he supports 'capitalism' is a ridiculous leg to stand on. What politican is going to totally overthrow our way of doing business overnight and turn it into something completely else?? Socialism???? I don't know. Steps need to be taken one at a time.
In all practicality, it is the corruption within 'crony capitalism' that needs to be addressed FIRST, before we can transition into a better way of trade and commerce. Paul is not the savior of mankind who is going to fix everything in America. But he is a HUGE step in the right direction. IF HE ISN"T, THEN WHO IS???? The cynical atheists offer NIL solutions to anything!!!, only complaints and critcism. What worth is that anymore? MOVE ON already. Fucking evolve! You have zero faith in anyone.
And as far as lingo and semantics are involved in political discussion, sorry, I don't squabble over such trivial details. All labels, academic terms and names we place on groups of people, such as conservative or liberal or whatever, blahblahblah, are too limiting and restrictive for this train of thought. Thats what I mean...evolve and look deeper and beyond your own petty cynicism of everything. You guys remind me of the Pharisees who argue over the wording of the Hebraic laws whom Jesus condemned for foolishly focusing on dead letters rather than the essence of the word. And I'm not even Christian!

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
