But the majority of the demographic in question has been raised to believe that they do not have to answer to any authority beyond their own.

The question is how much of that demographic applies to those who support Ron Paul. I'm sure there are some, but they are mistaken if they think Ron Paul is a proponent of anarchy and disrespect for authority. I think what's happening is that his trust in human nature to be in comportment with civility invites some uncivil behavior.

So good to hear you have children who respect authority. I mean it, and I know it means a lot to you. Thinking through my own struggles with when and where to address conditions that overstep authority, and where authority can impose arbitrary constraints. It's not easy. I just don't see Ron Paul as the type who would be a proponent of a lawless society. Libertarianism in the extreme can be like that. Not good.

But to me the constraints of the State have become overly burdensome in too many areas of life. Ron Paul seems to be in agreement with a reasonable, but not perfect, way to enjoy the blessings we've been given during this short trek on earth.

God bless you, and your family, and keep you in His peace.

Bravo Chugabrew, the fallacies about RP supporters and actual libertarian views have become an obsession with so many Repubs that they only see red and refuse to actually discuss the issues. An excellent read on our dismal State Education; ‘The Underground History of American Education’, http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/underground/index.htm
