I've got this friend, see... [View all]

Ok, it's not really me, it's really a friend. And he's really confused politically.

OK, we're both Canadian, but he's a RABID fan of Ron Paul. And he's ALSO a big Occupy Wall St. fan.

I've tried to tell him that the two philosophies are at odds with each other, but he can't see the difference.

What is the most convincing argument that would cohere his thoughts into a more consistent world view?

This is driving me nuts.
