Happy fourth! Not much today in the news:

• Subaru, no doubt, is an environmentally friendly company. Just about every car they sell gets at least 20mpg. Based on that, it should not surprise that they haven't sent anything to the dump in three years.
• Ron Paul has always had a grip on social media, particularly digg, but today it was uncovered that he has people who are gaming the system. One person has noticed that masses of people digg only Ron Paul stories. Anything with his name they digg.
• Africans are asking the wealthy donors to stop sending aid. For one, the biggest flaw has always been giving the money to the government. It's fairly obvious that the presidents there are quite corrupt and much of that money never reaches the people. Besides, there are better things we can do like build wells and buildings. Throwing money doesn't solve anything.

Today was a lot of fun. Fourth of July party all day long.

I was just catching up on some of the news, and I came across a video about Ron Paul in one of the debates. I figured that since he has been talked about so much, I should at least watch the clip. If you watch it, you'll see that he makes a lot of sense:

"If we think that we can do what we want around the world and not incite hatred, then we have a problem. They don't come here and attack us because we're rich and we're free. They attack us because we're over there."

Admittedly, he is a republican candidate, but he is the only republican candidate that I would even consider voting for. He, at the very least, considers the side-effects of what we are doing. He sees that the reason people hate us is for attacking them. If we left them alone, the would leave us alone. Don't poke at the sleeping dog.

Unfortunately for Ron Paul, he does not fair well in the polls. He is lagging too far behind to be able to catch up. To me, Ron Paul is the only republican candidate that makes any sense, and the only one that I would trust in office.
