Have to agree with Greg, If it came down to RP, Billery or, eating ground glass. I'd have to go with the ground glass, it would be far less painfull.
ETA: If RP had a more realistic view of the world, I would have no problem with Him.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politic...ns_of_Ron_PaulQuote:
Paul calls for a foreign policy of nonintervention.[42] This policy avoids entangling alliances with other nations, in the tradition of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison,[43] in order to avoid being drawn into wars not related to defense. He believes that war must be fought only to protect citizens, it must be declared by the U.S. Congress, and it must be concluded when the victory is complete as planned: "The American public deserves clear goals and a definite exit strategy in Iraq."[44] Paul advocates bringing troops home from U.S. military bases in Korea, Japan, and Europe among others.[45] He denies being an isolationist: he advocates "conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations".
