Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on the drug war, trusting individuals vs. the government and how humanitarian a free-market system can be. In Part 3, they continue to talk about markets vs. regulation.

Stewart is even a little less convinced of the practical workability of Paul's libertarian ideas than I am, but there's a lot of mutual respect – I'd really love to watch a full-hour discussion between those two.

“ If you sent me to an alternate universe where politicians were honest, bureaucrats cared, and voters weren’t so irrational—a world where good-idea policy initiatives tended to actually accomplish their stated goals without unexpected negative side effects—a world where the clear and visible end result of getting governments to do more and more was that economies grew faster and faster and people became happier and happier—then, in that world, I wouldn’t be a libertarian. ”
