This is my principal issue with politics and why I'm a fan of politicians like Ron Paul - he doesn't mind pissing some people off.
While the man may be a bit wacky, I appreciate that he goes against the grain. Of course he has to pay attention to what his constituents desire, but he actually tries to look towards the future.
One of the reasons we are in the mess we are in is due to a major shortcoming with politicians:
They are reactive, as opposed to proactive.
