Silk Road forums

Man am I disappointed to read the responses in this thread. I really thought more of you would look up to and have the deepest, utmost respect for Dr. Paul. It literally breaks my heart to see him retire. We have NOBODY else left in congress to carry the weight that man carried on his back for the last 30 plus years. All by himself, he fought tooth and nail to carry the weight of the message of freedom on his back, and it wasn't until his last few years that he got the recognition he deserved. Sadly that recognition didn't come from any of his peers or colleagues,  but from the entire generation of youth who were smart enough and intellectually free enough to understand how much of a hero he really was and is. There has NEVER been another politician who stuck by his principles and what he believed in like Ron Paul did. Not ONCE did he change positions, contradict himself, or vote against his libertarian ideals. You will NEVER find another statesman like him who really cared that much about his countrymen and the fundamental universal rights of man, and not about power or money. He was a one-of-a-kind man, and personally I believe he deserved to go down as an equal to MLK and Ghandi. He had no other motivation for his long hard career standing by himself against the rest of congress than to fight for our freedom. This is going to offend many of you, but I truly believe he has done more for defending my freedom than any soldier in the US military. The man deserves nothing but praise, love, and admiration. He has earned the right to go down as a legend, a true American hero, and most likely the last true statesman we'll ever have.

Am I the only one who remembers in silk road's early days when SR would be down for extended periods of time?  This is nothing new and I wouldn't be freaking out at this stage.

Give it some time folks   This is a hidden service done by hidden people, this isn't facebook maintenance.  True revolutions tend to have setbacks, but ultimately they succeed.
