OT: has anyone else noticed how so many pro-Ron Paul posts all sound the same? I'm not singling out Shawnski here (he's just the most recent example I've noticed), but I started reading his post and by paragraph two I thought, "Heh, this sounds like a Ron Paul post," and then BAM, look who shows up at the end! Is there a Ron Paul website where his supporters copy/paste form letters from? I find it eerie how they're all so similar, right down to referring to him as "Dr. Paul" consistently.

Oddly enough, I was exploring all this BEFORE I discovered Ron Paul. As a son of a baby boomer, I also lived through all of the decades since we came off the gold standard. It helps put things in perspective.
Heck you know from our past discussions that I would be right wing on my perspectives. That has changed. I am no longer looking at the right/left perspective as much as the statist/libertarian discussion. And I am definitely NOT a statist!
