At the end of this one minute excerpt from an old neocon/blowhard Morton Downey Jr. show, guest Ron Paul makes a comment to a sheeple (who thinks Ron is crazy for wanting to re-legalize recreational drug use) that perhaps the government should put this sheeple on a diet because he's a little overweight. How did Ron know twenty years ago that this is EXACTLY what our gunvernment is in the process of trying to do now?

By the way, at the beginning of this Downey video (same interview), Downey snidely remarks that his audience is about to meet a man that will be snorting cocaine in the White House (i.e., if Ron wins the 1988 Presidential election as the Libertarian Party candidate).

Downey, a lifelong cigarette smoker, died of lung cancer. Had he lived, I wonder if this ignorant neocon (but I repeat myself) would have wanted the gunvernment to outlaw cigarettes today. Do you know something—he probably would have!
