First off, the disclaimer that I don't think Paul's economic ideas would work if implemented strictly as he believes them.

That said, you didn't really provide a relevant link as to why he's crazy. That link just explains why his definition is wrong.

edit: in utah, gold actually is money.

Stop being a douche, it's self evident. If you can't even properly understand and define money, you don't have the necessary framework to analyze the complex fiscal and monetary phenomena necessary to steer an economy.

Kind of like you.

Now fuck off.

Gentlemen, start your engines.

The craziest thing about Paul, and I don't see nearly enough people calling him on this, is that in his constant railing against 'fiat currency' and its inherent worthlessness, and how we should go back to the gold standard, he always cites the current price of gold in fiat currency. It's completely circular, and he clearly doesn't see it.

Canada, please get your act together and make a universal equivalent to the ADA so I can move to Vancouver and get the fuck out of here.

Unfortunately our current leader(http://communities.canada.com/vancouversun/blogs/thesearch/archive/2009/03/29/harsh-reaction-greets-stephen-harper-s-decision-to-name-evangelical-activists-to-top-posts.aspx) is also a right wing evangelical, and he's here for the next 4 years - with full majority powers, so he can (and probably will) set us back a few decades.

If nothing changes in opposition parties, our Dear Leader is going to still be running in 30 years. BTW, what's an ADA?

We have legislation and regulation that has pretty much the same effect as the ADA in Canada, shored up with the (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/charter/) Charter Of Rights And Freedoms.

The trouble is these apply to citizens, landed immigrants and, in a general sense visitors. People with serious health issues are unlikely to be approved for immigration, and a Charter argument would likely not apply.

Like Azaran said, Canada is not exactly the liberal haven it was a decade ago. And we have no term limits on the Grande Fromage here.

I suppose my OP was a bit of pot - kettle - black, then.

Or I could blame eight years of Shrubbish lunacy for infecting our zeitgeist.

Thank you all for your various perspectives. From the outside, the American electoral process is arcane yet fascinating, in a car crash sort of way.
