Utilitarianism sounds appealing at first glance, but beware, it considers that the betterment of abstract groups of people at the cost of the individual is acceptable if not absolutely necessary. If you destroy the concrete individual you will inevitably destroy the abstract group.
i agree. I feel most of our problems come about by trying to do good through a utilitarian/collectivist philosophy. But like I said (which I heard from G. Edward Griffin)only individuals exist with unalienable rights. collective groups of individuals have no unalienable rights because they are abstract. we need to protect the individual to protect humanity.
This was a great video! It's so true we need to protect our liberties at all costs. Although they may have built the constitution in the 1800's they knew a lot of what we would be facing. We need to focus on fixing our country instead of causing problems for others. He's got my vote.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. When a college kid in his dorm room pwns the entire corporate controlled mass media in a long interview of the presidential frontrunner, you know you're living in bizarro world.
its rediculous isnt it. but thats how it goes now. i swear man this guy has such a good chance of winning and you barely see him on mainstream t v. hopefully the younger vote wakes up and helps elect him.
I truly appreciate what you do, James. Just a little constructive criticism, though: your body language often conveyed impatience, while Dr. Paul was talking, at least to me.
I kept thinking the same thing....stop being so fidgity....if you need to do something get two cams then you can film both and then put the two together.
For those interested in reading further on Ron Paul's views, Google "Texas Straight Talk," where you'll find a wealth on Ron Paul's view; stated views that are actually USEFUL, because it's how the man VOTES.

The only Presidential candidate that is willing to limit/end the FED. Reserve is RON PAUL. It will take the most incredible grass roots movement to get Ron in office.

I like what George Washington said in his farewell address. "If there be any changes (in the Constitution), let it be by amendment, and not by usurpation, for this is the weapon by which free governments are customarily destroyed."
How many of us today know a lot about "the weapons by which free governments are customarily destroyed"?
James, you've got the best political videos on youtube right now. Thanks so much for talking with Ron Paul. He's what this country needs. He's better than JFK in my opinion, and JFK was the best in a hundred years.
Dr. Ron Paul, 10th-term Congressman is the ONLY Rep. candidate to vote against the Iraq War in 2002. Paul also voted against the unconstitutional Patriot Act.
He wants to:
- Bring our troops home from Iraq & end the war
- Secure our borders from terrorism
- Stop illegal immigration and no amnesty for illegal immigrants
- Get rid of the IRS for fairer taxes.
- Limit big government in your private affairs & lives

this is very professional. It is nice to see independent political interviews. This is only the beginning of a shift in power from mainstream media.

I almost feel that the ideological battle should not be between capitalism and socialism, but the more base Individualism and Utilitarianism.

@lamasu The younger vote is a disappointment. We always speculate based on them, but they never turn out.
We need their vote. Vote for Ron Paul when you come of age, kiddos.
