    Ron Paul


    As some of you know I have linguistic issues/neurological problems and I have the occasional brain hiccup, some of which I can explain, some I can't.

    For some reason the name ron paul brings out of the brain the imagine of a drag queen unfailingly, everytime I think it. I don't know way: it might be I once heard of or met someone with a similar name, or read something about him before seeing an image of drag queens or something...but for me it is absolutely unfailing. mildly amusing though.

    He believes, as I do, in sound money and small government.
    It's a pity we don't have anyone like him over here.

    Thank you! Its always great to get to the root of these things! I have not remembered hearing of that person before, but I obviously have: my guess is the similarity of name meant the more imposing image went on to the more familar name....hahahaha, thats great!:j

    Generali could we persuade you to take the left/right libertarian / authoritarian quiz we were discussing on nice people last night - I kind of see you in the bottom right quadrant but wonder if you might have a bit of an authoritarian streak somewhere that you have been covering up...

    Nice quiz... which makes me...

    "You are a center-right moderate social libertarian."

    Sounds good to me!
