So why do YOU like Ron Paul so much?

I truly want to know.  All bullshit, flaming, and racial slurs aside (which, I know, is impossible on 4chan), why do you (or anyone) like Ron Paul so much?  I just don't see what is so revolutionary about his campaign.  It seems he is sort of a Jeffersonian Republican... but if you know American history, you'd know that that didn't really work out so well.  His stance against the war is admirable, but not revolutionary.  A candidate like Gravel is far more appealing to me, with the National Initiative and his economic stance.

It's not close at all--it's still a collectivist notion.

It's based upon the idea that proper government is whatever the people assent to.

However, that's simply not the case.

PROPER GOVERNMENT is that which leaves each individual alone to do as he pleases so long as he honors his contracts and does not initiate, attempt to initiate, or threaten to initiate physical force or fraud against the person or property of another individual without his consent.

It doesn't matter how many people actually want this--it is the only proper government regardless.

It is individual autonomy; contrast this with the Rousseauian "social contract", which is collective autonomy.
