Why the Counterculture Should Support Ron Paul

Even though I consider the entheogenic reformation to be the most crucial aspect of the next step in evolution, I'm not going to hold back posting about the r3VOLution, at least until he wins the Republican nomination. After that happens (if we make that happen) I am confident he will demolish any of the war-mongering, sell-out Democratic front-runners in any debate and win the presidency in a crushing landslide.
