If he were smart he would take Ron Paul for Texas and his large following of young people. Of course Ron probably wouldn't do it.
I compile .pdf's onto travel drives and CD's. The Kindle I bought is also going to be used for such purposes. Evernote might be useful, I don't know, I might try it to see.
I have a copy of On War somewhere around the house, but I am no expert by any means. I wish I knew more about him.
You may be on to something because Rand Paul quickly endorsed Romney instead of being loyal to his father until the convention was over because Ron is still technically contending for the nomination even though it's a foregone conclusion he can't win. If there is some form of collusion between the Pauls and Romney, then the system is too far gone to be salvaged.
I'm locking this thread before it goes too much further. Phid or Scout can unlock it if they wish, but I advise we take a breath before continuing further.
Tell me this, though - would you have still said the system was rigged had Ron Paul gotten the nomination over Romney?
How do you know he didn't? There has been reports of ballot tampering in Maine, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri by Romney backers. Explain to me how Obama got elected without people knowing anything about him? How does a man like that get in unless he was hand picked by TPTB? It's rigged no question about that. If Ron Paul had won it would have gone a long way in restoring my confidence in the system.
Well he has sources to back up his claim so perhaps the position is legitimate in some scholarly circles at least.
Mentor and student relationship being sexual(homosexual) is purely 19th century idea, born with a simple misinterpretation of Greek language. And scholars long abandoned that one, even homosexuality in general let alone INSTITUTIONALIZED pederasty and surogatte fathering . Cartledge went on a on, twisting the whole Spartan society to fit this nonsense and of course came to some strikingly odd conclusions. I wander why would such an expert dismiss very clear evidence against homosexuality in Sparta, by Xenophon, Aristotlee etc, not to mention other implications, with famous heterosexual poets, even anecdotes from Herodotus, archaeological evidence of men and women in marriage, and complete lack of any artistic depiction or literary evidence of anything other than heterosexual relationship…politics?Maybe.
This is incorrect. Most scholars still adhere to the homosexual mentor-ship relationship.
But do you acknowledge then that if you refuse to take part in the process you have no voice in the results? If you don't vote how can you then later complain that it is not your choice that got elected? Just saying.
I have no voice now. Choose bad or choose the other bad. I don't care and yes I can complain all I want because the system is rigged. We need new political parties or more parties for more choices. If enough people start to wake up and see things like I do, we can start a revolution and get this country back to what it was intended to be.
Donnie you are arguing that would sacrifice the good or adequate because we cannot have the perfect. That is a fools argument at best.In other news Drudge is now reporting that Condi is the frontrunner to be picked for VP, given that he is know for significant scoops like this he may be onto something. I don't know if that is a smart idea or not. She has her good points and bad and I cannot decide which outweighs which.
Well neither are "adequate" so I say let the best man win whomever it may be because from where I'm standing, I can't tell.
