 Replying to [comment:6 elb]:
 > Regarding the "continual racist output", I'm sure you're aware that that
 was not written by Ron Paul, that he has owned up to allowing it to be
 printed under his name, and recanted it all.  This is old news, and not
 even newsworthy.
 >
 > There is more to his "return to the gold standard" than simply pinning
 the dollar to the price of gold (and, note that it's not the gold
 standard, but a precious metals standard).  That said, I agree that it's
 unreasonable -- Gold is nothing but another fiat.

 again, we do not need it to turn into a long political thread.

 You started the ticket boyo, don't put it up if you don't want people to
 respond. Besides, I wasn't trolling, just posting my opinon in a similar
 joking way as the others. I suppose if I had posted a "me too" response
 there would be no issue. I agree with you that this isn't really the place
 for a discussion on Ron Paul's failings, so I'll stop posting in this
 ticket.


 Oh, and I think a presidential candidate publishing a racist newsletter
 for many years under his own name IS newsworthy BTW.
