We've all heard this quote or a variation of it. I used to be defensive about being called a radical, but not anymore. Our country was discovered and pioneered by radicals. The Constitution and Bill of Rights were written by radicals. At the time, nothing was more radical that the idea of allowing citizens to have a voice in the political process.
Today there is evidence that our radical ideas are becoming popular.
California and Arizona have legalized medical uses of marijuana. Perhaps people will soon be talking about ending the Departments of Education and Commerce. Great ideas and great people have always been labeled radical. Libertarians should embrace the term and live up to its proud history. Informed citizens know the medicinal benefits of marijuana, they weren't misinformed.
