Often the cover of a book is attractive and inviting. However, what is inside the book is more enlightening. Ron Paul entered politics as run of the mill doctor/politician. Check his last required statement as a politician. Multi multi millionaire. Diligent saving and investing? All one needs is an adding machine.
When McCain ran against Obama in 2008, Ron Paul was also on the ticket. I voted for Ron Paul since he was the best candidate. The other two were both members of Council on Foreign Relations. Both were internationalists. Ron Paul was not. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Last I saw his multi, multi, was just that, $2.3M. Peanuts compared with the rest of the congressional grifters. He never voted for a pay raise or went on a junket. Who else can say that?

Lod... Last time I took a look it was six or seven million, mostly in gold MINING stock. On paper I am near broke, doesnt mean a thing. Few weeks ago Peeloosely and other congress CRITTERS SOLD day before a stock crashed. My heirs are well off, I am a pauper on paper.
Lod Found this on Paul... """Nice "stopped clock" strategy, right? In reality, it suggests that not only is Ron Paul an honest and principled politician with a rock solid knowledge of economic history and theory, but he is also a master investor with a track record that would make many of the Street's top hedge funds envious. Just don't expect Barron's to acknowledge it.""" Jason Raznick Jason Raznick
Paul's always been in miners, so I'll trust your numbers that they've had quite a nice bounce for those who hold them. I always have taken physical delivery instead of the paper. It would be nice to be a pauper, to the IRS. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

I voted for Ron Paul since he was the best candidate. I held signs for Ron Paul in 2007/2008 in freezing Indiana winter. Anyone telling at least some truth is preferable to a studied and well compensated liar. “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
When Paul returned $400 that we had "over-donated" in '98, that told me all that I ever needed to know about his character and his honesty.

In the short term, it surely seems that way, but not so much in the long to eternal scheme of things. imo and experience

I guess it's a matter of trusting what you've been taught versus what you see. I really want to believe the human race is not doomed, but watching the the filthy lying liars that are constantly cheered on by what seems to be the overwhelming mass of humanity tends to be a bit of a bummer.

BTW, I'm stuck with some lump charcoal I accidentally picked up last year instead of briquettes. Tried cooking with it, it seems to go out as soon as it gets wet from grease dripping on it, do I just use a lot more, like fill the whole grill with it (Weber Kettle), or put the meat on as soon as the fire from starter fluid dies down? I usually let the briqettes smolder for like 20 minutes after flames go out, they just keep getting hotter, but the lump charcoal seems to only burn for like 20 minutes.

In the world of charcoal grilling, there's no more fundamental and fiercely debated topic than lump charcoal vs. briquettes. Being the building block for everything you grill, it's no wonder that grill masters around the world will defend their choice with extreme passion. So, you might ask, "Which is the reigning champ?" Well, there really is no easy answer, but there are some charcoal essentials you should know that will help you make the right choice. Lump Charcoal Charcoal is made by burning wood in the absence of oxygen, and lump charcoal is the product of that. Since lump is charcoal in its most natural form, it's no wonder purists will almost always prefer it. Beyond that, lump charcoal has a lot of attractive qualities; it lights faster, burns hotter, and leaves very little ash compared to briquettes. Lump charcoal is also more responsive to oxygen, making it easier to control the fire's temperature if your grill has adjustable air vents. Pros: Lights quickly, burns hotter, little ash production, easier temperature adjustment, all natural Cons: Burns faster, more expensive, less consistent (bags can contain unusably small pieces of charcoal) Briquettes Briquettes are kind of like the fast food of charcoal; they're cheap, reliable, can be found on almost every corner, but you really don't want to know what's in them. Unlike the pure lump charcoal, briquettes are manufactured wood by-products compressed with additives that help them light and burn consistently. These additives do give off a chemical smell when lit, but allowing them to burn until covered with white ash before starting to cook should avoid any off-putting smells transferring to your food. Although they may not sound attractive, there are some good advantages to briquettes. They provide a more stable burn, maintaining a steady temperature for a longer period of time with less hand holding then lump charcoal. Pros: Burns longer, easier to maintain consistent temperature, cheaper Cons: Longer to light, chemical smell, large ash production This is all just the tip of the iceberg. There are excellent resources out there to further fuel us charcoal nerds, but after many years manning the grill, I still can't pick a clear side in this epic battle. I've found lump charcoal superior when grilling, getting me cooking faster and letting me control the heat more easily, not to mention barely leaving any ashy mess to deal with at the end of the day. Briquettes have been my saving grace when smoking, allowing me to set it and forget it, burning for hours on end at the same temperature during the long cooks required for barbecue. If I find myself with one on hand and not the other, I don't sweat it, because at the end of the day they will both lead to great grilling or barbecue. So the ultimate champion is relative, but I'm betting a lot of you have your own two cents to throw into the ring, so by all means, go at it! “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Much more than I needed to know since I switched to propane after one season of briquettes decades ago.

LOL, thanks for info. I had sort of already decided lump charcoal was crap except for making skinny burgers or something. In an afront to everything holy I pulled my electric grill from the top shelf of the cupboard and went with that. I would have gone with Weber had I any briquettes, but the lump has let me down too many times. The electric works like a broiler, I can cook the meat to the exact degree I need, and even get the BBQ sauce burnt just right, will just have to forego that smokey taste I've come to love from the briquettes, which is just as well because I think asphalt is part of the formula.

My pork chops turned out well, I let them cook a little on one side then turned them and slathered on the Open Pit. Flipped them and let that side brown, repeat about three times. Had some Collard Greens ready to go from Thursday, and cornbread I made last night. Feast day here at Ranchero Dakmaro, lol. German Chocolate cake for dessert, but that's going to have to wait a couple hours, I am stuffed.

I picked up a load of charcoal in south Missouri that was going to be delivered in Florida. There was an open pallet of chunk charcoal. The forklift operator had to go to the office. I grabbed four bags and threw them up in the tractor. I called my co-driver and told him, "Come get this charcoal." He did. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

We were in the old neighborhood in Chicago way back when. We were near the Harris Restaurant and this fat guy had a pistol sticking out of his pocket with a hip grip. This kid that was with me touched it. And the guy with the pistol said, "Get out of here ya punk." I called the cops at pay phone on corner. Three cops went into the restaurant. They came out a few minutes later and were laughing. They told us, "That was The Whale." I said, "You mean he is a cop?"

"Taste the meat, not the heat"- Hank Hill “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them.

Hank Hill was born at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York.[1] According to the episode "Yankee Hankie," Hank proudly believed he was born in Texas to Tilly Mae Hill and Cotton Lyndal Hill but finds (to his disgust and horror) that he was actually born in New York City. His mother told him she gave birth to Hank in the women's restroom at Yankee Stadium during Cotton's failed attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro during a rare American visit. After referring to himself as a native Texan for forty years, he was sad to learn he was born in New York, but over time, accepted his heritage when he realized that many of the Alamo heroes were not from Texas, either. Hank, who previously thought he was an only child, finds out he has a Japanese half brother named Junichiro in the episode "Returning Japanese". This is due to an affair Cotton Hill had with his Japanese nurse while recovering from leg injuries in post-World War II Japan. Also, in the episode "Hank Gets Dusted", Hank is shown to be the cousin of ZZ Top bassist and vocalist Dusty Hill. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.
