Have liked that presidential canidate Ron Paul has spoken out on the truth of the iraq war. Thought this was well written and helped open my thoughts on the libertarian party. I like some of their basics. I still wouldlike to see universal health care in the US, socialized medicine. Tired of other terms being used like socialialist or left of center is taboo. What represents the left currently should be the taboo. While there seems to be even threats of eroding elements to even that segment of, LOL, imagination. While I understand the threat what having large goverment poses. It just falls back on the populace to keep that goverment in check against its becoming corrupt. History begs to differ if society is capable of maintaining that, rather small goverment is less worrisome. In our large complex diverse world I guestion the effectiveness of a small goverment. It seems innovative thought on furthering the checks and balances of the branches of goverment might be worthy of concideration.  
 
It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error.

In a free society the ability for it not loose sight of this might be its best attribute to itself, and possibly a undeniable precurser, a fountain of youth, to be fed upon in its evolution thru time.
