4. Ed Rosenthal talks about change

specifically in the context of our time - he talked about how no one expected the Soviet Union to dissolve, no one expected the Berlin Wall to be torn down (and, no matter what Reagan said, his administration didn't see what was happening... mostly in Hungary, btw, that led to the chain of events that brought down the Soviet empire.)

Sometimes change seems like it will never happen - and then, suddenly, it does.

This is also something Gladwell talks about in The Tipping Point. Rosenthal also mentions that book and said, when this video was made a few years ago, that we are at a tipping point - and we are.

One action can change the current abuse of power.

We are now at a point at which an overwhelming majority approve of medical marijuana legalization and a slim majority supports legalization of all marijuana.

Our economy isn't looking all that great. Allowing a new market to flourish is just what FDR did in relation to alcohol prohibition, too.

There are economic, medical, constitutional and health arguments that make far more sense than the policy we have at this time... comes a time...

I hope that time is soon. It's coming.
