Politics: Ron Paul talks more of his crazy mumbo-jumbo

  • While I would like nothing more than to see the Federal Reserve abolished, it is not absolutely necessary to do so with direct legislation.
  • Ron Paul • In a column on CNN where he argues that more transparency – and less spending – is needed at the Federal Reserve. But it’s all veiled – he would rather the Fed go away entirely. The uber-libertarian 2008 presidential candidate, last seen in Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Bruno” trying to fend off a gay guy, recently released a book, “Going Rogue” “End the Fed,” arguing just that. We tried to continue reading what Paul was saying, but it made our brains hurt. • source

U.S.: Montana’s in the center of a right-to-die legal storm

  • There are moral arguments, philosophical arguments on both sides, bioethical arguments on both sides, even medical and public health arguments on both sides.
  • Montana State Solicitor Anthony Johnstone • On the coming court case based around Robert Baxter, a 76-year-old truck driver with lymphocytic leukemia whose request for a lethal injection was refused by his doctor. (Baxter died last year.) Montana’s an interesting state for a case like this to take place: Their constitution leans libertarian, and personal rights court cases in the state have shown a history of later being replicated by the Supreme Court. In his miserable, protracted death, Baxter may just produce a better end of life for thousands of Montana residents. • source
