Which has been more destructive of our social fabric, the 20% defense or 56% social programs.....I'd say the 56....has lulled most of us asleep so we become dependant on big brother, less dependent on ourselves, and less able to rise up and thro out the leaders who perpetuate the military/industrial complex with the 20.... Ron Paul, I fear is the wrong man with the right message at the wrong time....it is hard to effect a deep social change from the top down without the personal strength of a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King...for the most part changes must come from the bottom up...we kinda get the govt. we deserve ...
