No, I think the point here is much simpler. Ron Paul does not even acknowledge the extent to which his own life is enriched by government subsidies. This is not out of dishonesty in Paul's case, but rather sheer ignorance. (In a recent interview he made a claim - astonishing for a medical doctor - that the government should reduce its regulation of medical testing laboratories. Does he realize what a free market in the medical area would do to doctors' incomes?) Strong beliefs combined with ignorance is a dangerous thing indeed! -raghu. -- "I bought some batteries, but they weren't included." - Steven Wright _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
