About the Gold Standard issue. He does believe in that but admits that it probably wouldn't ever happen again. Some people just need to understand that just because he has his own personal views on things that it does not necessarily mean he is going to implement them. For example, he is against marijuana and has never even tried it but he does want it to be legalized and also wants to give the states the right to do so. He just wants the Federal Govt. to stay out of our own personal business.. He believes that his own views shouldn't mold the govt. He feels we all have the right to personal freedom...
