Ron Paul Doesn't Believe In Evolution.
Ron Paul's belief's on social issues are very conservative, however he doesn't think the federal government should be able to decide these things, as he pointed out in his letter it sets a precedent that the federal government can have say over such things, meaning it can be changed to say gay marriage for all. I believe he mentioned in the letter he doesn't think the Federal government can force one state to recognize the marriage of another, so leaving state to get gay married won't work.

Charles Manson's Epic Answer (24 sec)
Actually the scariest thing about the Milgram experiment is the people weren't conditioned, at least not by the experimenters, they went in and obeyed the closest thing to authority.
I'd hazard a guess there's a genetic/evolutionary component to that, kind of like how people are programed to see faces in things, there's a component that compels us to obey authority.

"It looks like Sandpeople did this."
"They didn't. But we are meant to think they did. These cupcake pans are
side by side. Sandpeople always stack their pans to hide their numbers.
And these blast points in the kitchen wall, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only
Imperial Crosstroopers are so precise."

Charles Manson's Epic Answer (24 sec)
If a therapist tells a client, "wow you really don't have anything to live for, you should kill yourself", and the client does, is the therapist not responsible? Didn't they, in a position of authority, give the emotionally vulnerable client instructions to do something that would cause irreparable harm?
I would also like to add people can go to prison for conspiracy to commit murder. If somebody told you to kill someone, and you said no, then told the cops that person had tried to get you to kill someone and had solid evidence to the fact, that person is going to jail for a long time, if not life.
So I guess to sum things up, yes the people who actually did the killings were responsible for what they did, and as far as I know, none of them went free. But Manson, who directed them, is also responsible for his actions. You think if he'd said to bake them brownies, instead of murder them, those people would still be alive?

Charles Manson's Epic Answer (24 sec)
Society hates Charles Manson because he told a bunch of drugged-out hippies to kill people and they actually did it. What's more frightening and dangerous someone who kills people or someone who has a bunch of other people who'll kill for them? It's not like Manson being in jail for life for that is an exception, its the rule. Someone hires a hitman to kill somebody, the hitman isn't the only one charged with murder. Same for Gotti and the other Mafia heads, they want them because they're the ones ordering all the hits. People who get their lovers to kill their spouses are charged with murder, though they never laid a finger on the person. In the military who do they most want to kill, the leaders of the other side.
Also I can't say I'm particularly impressed by someone who takes in the disenfranchised and lost, tells them what they want to hear and proceeds to use them for their own devices. BTW, that includes the military, religions, corporations, cults, and half the other shit going on, on the planet.
