1,000,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillion) seconds would be over 31.5 million years. (Or, one quadrillion micro-seconds would be 31,709.8 years.) 1,000,000,000,000,000 pennies stacked up would reach 876,823,793.5 miles. Saturn orbits the sun at a mean distance of 887 million miles and is never...

What are the members of the banking cartel risking in all this? The Fed keeps creating money and lending it out. Thin air, out of which the money is created, costs nothing. Yet, those to whom it is lent must pay it back. If they can't, what they have becomes the property of the lender. Seems...

I've not bought any canned food, but I have a lot of it. Growing and preserving food is my family's chosen way of life. We began taking major steps in the late 1990s to pay off all of our debt. In 2003 we bought 57 acres in KY (paid for, no mortgage). Control over the production and processing...

I just bought 10 gallons at $3.89/gallon in South-Central Kentucky.

I've posted some thoughts about and description of events at the Kentucky GOP state convention in another thread. I wanted to know what the chair and vice chair of my county GOP thought about the convention since they were both there as delegates. FYI, we are a small county with only 7 delegates...

I would be surprised if any of them had a change of heart. From their point of view, the Ron Paul supporters were the ones who were out of line. To be a good republican, you do what you're told and trust your party leaders. The leaders and big wigs in the party didn't want discussion or...

It was a well-orchestrated ramrodding of the RKP's wishes at the convention today. The agenda specified time limits for each of the business items: Credentials Report -- 20 min, Rules Committee Report -- 5 min, Permanent Organization Committee report -- 5 min, Nominations committee Report -- 15...

I live in Metcalfe County and voted for Ron Paul yesterday.

It wasn't the RP delegates that caused the problems. Following the rules isn't creating a problem. The problems were created by others. Does this harm RP? I don't think so. The "movement" would be harmed by inaction, by not following the rules. I disagree with your basic premise that Nevada and...

I see some potential problems of a varied nature. 1. Reconvene. The problem here is that it is expensive for the delegates (forget about the party). And, reconvening will only work if a quorum is present. So, if the McCainiacs don't show, you wasted money for nothing, and the whole process of...

This doesn't sound like a legitimate recess of the convention (requires a motion/second and vote of the delegates). However, whenever the convention does reconvene, according to Robert's Rules of Order, it is to take up where it left off. All the business and voting that already has occurred...

My experience in my small county was quite different, but if 20 RP supporters had shown up and introduced resolutions like the ones shared elsewhere on this board, the almost 30 old guard members would've voted them down on principle. The principle being, for them, that it is their county and...

Thread about Fayette County is here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=128658 I attended the convention in Metcalfe County. This is a small county; we have 7 delegate spots total for the county. I am a delegate to the district convention. I don't know that there were any other Ron...
