Sorry about the late response.

Why should school be paid by the government? We have the internet now. We don't need public school anymore.

Functional standard.

True, but the strength of the dollar is tied to the economy. If the economy plummits so does the dollar. If the dollar plummits it isn't necesarily true for the economy. America's national debt plus out sourcing putting money in other countries is damaging the national economy (although probably good for global economy) and the that is at least partially why the value of the dollar is declining.
My apologies on my dysfunctional grammar, perhaps that’s a call for more schooling right there.

Well the problem with the basic level of education, and I don’t know how standardized this is, but its not exactly basic. I don’t need Algebra II or Chemistry to honestly function out there in the world. The bases on which those two disciplines are built I would, I think biology and geometry have a function, but those aforementioned classes exist on the basis of academic continuation, they imply you’ll go on to a collegiate education.

At least here in Massachusetts we tend to teach to tests, or do tremendous amounts of prep work for college, and there too much injected into what otherwise should be fundamental bases of education.

A function standard I agree with, but when Ron Paul calls for its dismantling, I can see why he’d do it. We have taxes and laws that combine to create a piss poor education that they could get at a Public Library.

As for the strength of there U.S. currency, I’m certain it’s an engineered move to decrease trade surpluses but the problem with supply-side economics in a first world nation is that they long ago made the move to a service industry, and without industrial production sector making vital supplies, what could people possibly buy from us? A day at the spa? Self-help courses? We need to get the farmers back to work and start building more industries around basic needs.

And abolish the IRS, DOT, FEMA, EPA, etc. I don't understand all these Ron Paul zombies insisting he's the greatest thing ever.

People who think the RPR is a brilliant thing aren't really aware of Governments role or function in daily life.

The more I read, the more I find out that capitalist economics works brilliantly, but not for everything. I was reading this weekend about how it works in regard to Farming (Whats the Matter with Kansas, Thomas Frank) and government regulations simply need to be in place (as in the New Deal). You simply need some form of larger hand to make sure things are in order. I'm not calling for socialism because we shouldn't restrain because of emotional sensitivity but agriculture and health care simply cannot function in the traditional roles of government.

Ron Paul is for freedom. All the other candidates want a stronger government.

I actually never looked into what Ron Paul is all about. But I really liked his feelings on why the U.S. is "hated". At one of the nomination debates I remember, he was saying that we are not liked because of our imperialistic ways; from our long history of covert operations in countries all over the world to our widespread military bases and unnecessary wars. It felt like a glimmer of truth or genuine thought coming through all the crap. And of course everyone literally laughed at him and each took turns trying to discount what he had said and spout their "truth", as the assclown guiliani literally said they hate us because of our freedom.
I guess what he is saying might seem a bit out there but that's the extent I got into Ron Paul. It's important to have independent voices and thoughts within the government (while still representing the feelings and will of the people).

Exactly. Ron Paul is the only libertarian candidate that has a chance at all of winning.
