Reporting from Mexico City\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n

The topic of discussion? War and Peace in the Age of Trump. <\/i><\/p>\n

As promised, today we present to you highlights from Ron Paul\u2019s speech, Peace is Popular. <\/i><\/p>\n

Lots of great stuff to cover.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get to it\u2026<\/p>\n

Ron Paul on liberty\u2026<\/h4>\n

\u201cLiberty is a young idea,\u201d Dr. Paul began. \u201cIt\u2019s really not something that\u2019s been around for thousands and thousands of years. And the benefits of liberty have just been rather recent. I think of the Industrial Revolution as a consequence of an understanding of economic liberty. And with the tremendous advancements that have existed with the Industrial Revolution I\u2019ve always wondered, why don\u2019t we advance in the social revolution?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we learn how to build so many wonderful things and the standard of living goes up for so many people and we have all of these luxuries, why is it that we haven\u2019t figured out how to stay out of killing each other?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo at the same time we\u2019ve had all of this advancement that helped us with technological things and the Industrial Revolution, we\u2019ve had more killing than ever before.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust think of the 20th century, with all of that advancement. I can\u2019t help but think about my dad talking to me about when the family dairy started. He delivered milk in a horse and wagon. And that was at the beginning of the last century. It was so recent and yet we haven\u2019t advanced very much in this social sphere of how we get along with people. I am an optimist because I believe we should be able to do that. And when you look at the history of mankind, it\u2019s really so very young.\u201d<\/p>\n
