Can any other presential candidate come any closer to Dr.Paul on the understanding of the economy?

I think not. We only have economic dummies running for Presidents who have no clue except saying tax cuts are good. My only problem is that I don't agree with Paul on social issues. Otherwise he would have been my favorite

I chose column A long time ago. Which one are you?

This argument makes perfect sense to me. I had come to a similar conclusion a long time ago. I asked similar question when I had to pick. What was the worst thing that could happen if we were wrong about global climate change? To me the answer was clear. It was cleaner air, investments in renewable energy like solar, wind (all the other resources are finite BTW), less trashing of earth with wiser consumption of our limited resources. This is like paying for an insurance for something that may happen to you in the future. It sure costs money upfront and most of the time, you don't get a penny back even if you never filed a claim.




You may ask if I am all talk and no walk. I do act. Have a hybrid that gives me 45MPG on the average, buy green power from my utility, use re-usable cups, plates as much as possible. I have also made many small life style changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator and choosing to walk for short distances and of taking the car or something else. I reduced my home temparature by a few degrees which result in cost savings. Cook at home more often which otherwise means driving to a restaurent etc. Buy food in bigger quantities rather than bite size containers. Also don't remember the last time I used paper. I can go on and on.

End result is that I am making myself more healthier and I am not losing on anything except making good choices. You should too consider that.
