I'll grant you that Paul's plain speaking, rather than using talking points or evading questions entirely, is very welcome. And I can see how he has us all in mind, but I think all candidates think they have us all in mind... so it's a matter of whom is going to bring me what I find most palatable.
Maybe Wikipedia has a good write-up of the strike, but I don't know if it gets into the impact. I was first really notified from Robert Reich, who I take to be pretty reliable on economics matters.
I'm quite in agreement that the Patriot Act, NCLB, and others need to be repealed... and if there was a way to get better name, that wouldn't hurt. This is a relatively easy process, I'd imagine. Once Bush is out, I think these more extreme laws will fade away... my understanding/memory is a bit confused, but aren't most of these things that have to be renewed every few years?
