In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Ron Paul wins debate despite pro-war crowd

Ron Paul won the Republican debate in Florida tonight. How do I know? He's the only one of the eight candidates who brought up monetary policy. He understands that when the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air the value of the dollar goes down. The Fed has been inflating since its creation in 1913, and now our dollars are only worth 4 cents. This terrible situation is the largest threat to our prosperity besides war. The dumb Florida crowd didn't get it - they should have given him a standing ovation when he discussed the dollar.

In fact, Paul was booed by some in the Florida pro-empire crowd. Booing a man when he wants to stop empire building, and not cheering when he talks about a sane monetary policy - truly, without a doubt, the dumbest audience at any Republican debate so far.
