There would have been no story otherwise. Still the premise is true.
Even taken seriously, it doesn’t work. No nation is a perfectly isolated and self-contained “island” (or planet, to go with your analogy). They all trade with each other and the fact that natural resources are not equally available to all makes it inevitable that competition for these will occur.
Even North Korea, which might be the most isolated country, trades with many other nations.
And even if you never interfere directly in a country’s affair, you’d interfere indirectly just by, for example, driving up the price of some commodity because you use more and more of it.

It is not necessarily a paradox to human cooperation to be isolated technologically; trade doesn’t have anything to do with governing or trying to influence the power structure of a sovereign nation. I look at this example as it would relate to very primitive societies – for example, trading rifles with Native Americans before they had the concept of the wheel (not even going to try and discuss if technology should follow a logical order). We should trade and exchange ideas with everyone – that is called learning and developing.
I think the philosophical question has to be: What constitutes ethical exchange between independently sovereign nations?

Hey Lifty you think combining rap crap music with Ron Paul is going to help his campaign?
Oh that’s right…he’s trying to attract the 16 and 17 year old vote.

When you can find me some relevant art made for any other candidate running for president then you can talk. Until then stuff it, prick!
Are you sad because your candidate Hillary doesn’t get this kind attention.

Unfortunately, it isn’t only teenagers who are attracted to such music. In all fairness, I believe there have been other videos with music that would appeal to a significantly older crowd in a variety of other videos.
When all is said and done, we can conclude that Ron Paul has no chance. Americans only alter a system dramatically when a situation is drastic, like during the Great Depression.
Nice ideas, but just that until fiat money and the mixed economy, and all the evil those create have run their course.

Someone probably just posted it as that.
Though, I actually heard her praise Bush because she considered herself “patriotic”…I’ve got smarter rocks in my backyard.

Heh I think this thread has drifted slightly off-topic. Im definitely voting this election for ron paul. Since I just turned 18 I registered republican just to vote for him in the primaries. I haven’t been really active with the other moRons in my area but did donate some cash to his campaign.

windex,
Congrats on voting.
I didn’t know that paul had support among 18-21 year olds.
