Dr. Paul,

Why do you oppose federal efforts to redefine marriage as something other than a union between one man and one woman, and support the Defense of Marriage Act?

Why do you not accept the theory of evolution?

Do you really believe that “the elitist, secular Left” is waging a war on religion?

Why do you believe that abortion leads to euthanasia, and that doctors who perform abortions should be criminally prosecuted?

Why do you oppose campaign finance reform and support unlimited private and corporate money into elections, and oppose taxpayer funded elections? It's destructive to democracy and is open season for corruption.

lastly, and this is the most important one: Why do you say that climate change is a hoax? You have children and grandchildren, and one day I will to. We have a duty to be responsible to them.

I know that you may not feel this way, but you're lucky. If you were in the US, you could have easily been bankrupted by medical bills and lose your house. Freedom :/

I'm Chinese and this is true. Intellectual property is simply not in the radar of the culture. I don't think I've ever known a Chinese person paying full price for a video game. And even in Western universities, if you are in a social group with other Chinese students, you are socially obligated to share answers.

And don't get me started on the dishonesty of Chinese businesses, from giant oil companies to your local food stand. Jokes on Chinese forums about 地沟油 (literally, ground ditch oil), and "eating the periodic table" are pretty universal.

Honest work is for suckers. Learning to work corners is smart. Besides, everyone else is doing it.

Chinese businesses, especially large ones, usually are somewhat more upright and honest with Western businesses because they want to present a good face. Face is very important in Chinese culture.

But it's common for taxis and electronic shops to rip off white people who aren't familiar with the local market by quoting higher prices.

If you go to Beijing and want to buy gadgets in those giant malls with innumerable stands, and don't feel like getting ripped off, bring along a Chinese friend familiar with Beijing and have him do the haggling for you.

A white guy might be asked Y750 for a gadget. I might be asked Y550. My mother would be able to grind down the vendor and walk away with it for Y250.

Do you think there could be an FDR type progressive president again in your lifetime?
