Prelude

This is my second blog. The first one was a Xanga account I had about 5 years ago, which I eventually abandoned for Facebook. Recently I've been thinking about how nice it was to have "social networking", as people say, be based on discussion rather than the small talk that you find on Facebook and Twitter. So I started this back up.

I recently read through Ron Paul's book The Revolution: A Manifesto. It speaks about the many things Big Government has done that are unconstitutional and immoral, and some things that are simply not the best policies. You may remember the signs that Ron Paul supporters used to have that said "Ron Paul cured my apathy." Well, he cured mine during his presidential campaign, and he's done it again through this book. The message of freedom and of the people being superior to the government is an inspiring one.

After reading this, I've decided to get a little more involved/aware of what's happening in politics, and part of that - well, the majority of it, actually - means discussing it.

What do you think about the United States Government acting as the World Police? Meaning: How do you think the international policies of the government should look, especially concerning war?

"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

God bless you,
