Beer in the Headlights

Aside from some nefarious ties to Nazi sympathizers and other various forms of white supremacist trash, apparently Ron Paul thinks it's just fine for your employer to sift through your DNA to find anything the don't like.

Companies would no longer be able to use genetic information like a person's predisposition for breast cancer, sickle cell or diabetes to make insurance or job decisions under a bill passed by Congress on Thursday.

The House voted 414-1 for the legislation a week after it passed the Senate on a 95-0 vote. The bill would bar health insurance companies from using genetic information to set premiums or determine enrollment eligibility. Similarly, employers could not use genetic information in hiring, firing or promotion decisions.

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, was the only member of Congress to vote against the bill.

So there you have it. 414-1 and 95-0. Perhaps some will see Ron Paul as the lone voice of sanity in Washington, DC. I see it as just another reason he's one of the most raging lunatics occupying a seat in Congress.
