I have no intention of turning this weblog into a Ron Paul advocacy platform, all recent evidence to the contrary. But I found this video from YouTube very moving, and I urge you to take the next couple of minutes to watch it from start to finish.

My discussion of Ron Paul’s ideas are relevant to a weblog that discusses Capitalism and Culture, because his ideas represent a very deeply rooted and growing sense of disenchantment within the zeitgeist by the present state and direction of our government. I’ll be talking about that a lot more in future posts, but, for now, just watch.
