Ron Paul seems to think the constitution was carved in stone and handed down to Moses on Mt. Sinai. The constitution is a living document, as it was intented to be by the men who wrote; this is why there has been 27 amendments added to it over the years. James Madison and Thomas Jefferson debated the idea that each generation of Americans should write its own constitution. Ron Paul would like to keep us stuck in the 18th century. He's good for political discourse and not much else.

You're right, Most people don't want the kind of change that he's offering. Ron Paul's ideas are the exact oposite of the ones Obama got elected on, and frankly, most of them are downright fucking dangerous and regressive. He wants to roll back the progress made over the last hundred years to an obsolete time, divide people instead of bringing them together; make them hate, fear, suspect each other. For there is no "we" in Ron Paul's vision for America, there is only "I". This is what the corporations, the banks, the mortgage lenders, insurance companies all want. They fear even two people getting together because from there "I lost my house" is changed; a cell is split and from its splitting grows the thing they hate "We lostour houses." The danger is there, for two men are not as lonely and perplexed as one. And from this first "we" there grows a still more dangerous thing: "I have a little food" plus "I have none." If from this problem the sum is "We have a little food" the thing is on its way, the movement has direction. Only a little multiplication now, and we're getting somewhere. OWS had it and they blew it.
