I absolutely agree with you that many people do not ask the question so much as make an accusation.For instance, "Why are there so many Jews in Hollywood?" is often followed by a tirade about so-called Jewish influence on society. If you seriously try to address their question by pointing out that in the early 20th century Jews in America often lived in ghettos (like most recent immigrant groups) and that the entertainment business was one of the few ways that were not foreclosed to them of escaping from the ghettos, you won't be thanked for your efforts to enlighten them.I am glad that you & a few others here on digg are willing to have intelligent discussion of issues. Too often, denizens of digg merely get into shouting matches. It is good to meet someone who is civilized.
Maybe you are just setting me up, but 282 cosponsors is a majority approaching a veto override option and a forced vote. Far away from the "5 cosponsors."Know of any other Republican financial bills that would make a difference with this kind of support?
Dr. Paul is planning a public relations offensive against the Federal Reserve Bank of his own, having authored a follow-up to his April 2008 New York Times best-selling book Revolution: A Manifesto. His latest book, End the Fed, is already selling well at Amazon.com – even though it isn't even slated to be published until September 16. The contention of End the Fed is that the current economic crisis was largely a creation of the Federal Reserve's efforts to suppress interest rates earlier in the decade, creating the housing boom as well as its subsequent bust. Considering the Fed's polling numbers, that should be an easy sell.
Come on now, there are a few other good guys in Washington. Kucinich comes to mind and what about the Democratic Senator Alan Grayson?My House Rep, Steve Austria, is turning out to be pretty good so far (first term).

They are only conservative when they are out of power. Just like Democrats only care about civil rights when they are out of power.

Certainly if he doesn't see campaigning as his business, he would be virtually unique among the denizens of Congress.
