Reason TV: Time To Lower The Drinking Age?
Some good food for thought - As an Iraq War vet who, at one time, was old enough to die for my country but not old enough to drink...I think it is!!!

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson's Reason.tv Interview.
Some good food for thought from Libertarian/Republican Gary Johnson, former Governor of New Mexico.
Former Republican Gov. Gary Johnson was the top elected official in New Mexico from 1994 through 2002. He took office after beating a primary opponent backed by the Republican party and won election twice in a state that has two-to-one Democratic advantage in registration.
Born in 1953 and a one-time competitive skiier, Johnson was not your typical governor. Instead, he governed as fiscally responsible and socially tolerant. He didn't raise taxes at all during his time in office and pushed through an aggressive privatization agenda that reduced costs while improving services. He vetoed 750 bills and trimmed the state workforace by 1,000 positions at the same time. He was also the highest-level elected politician and one of the most vocal proponent of drug legalization during his tenure.
Johnson is now heading the Our America initiative, which is dedicated to advancing the public debate on topics ranging from immigration to civil liberties to free enterprise to the federal deficit to the war on drugs to Afghanistan and Iraq. He is frequently mentioned as a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012.
Reason's Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie talked with Johnson about the issues of the day—and what it was like to climb Mt. Everest with a busted leg.
Approximately 27 minutes. Shot by Dan Hayes and Meredith Bragg; edited by Bragg.
Back in 2001, Reason dubbed Johnson "the most dangerous politician in America." Click here to find out why.

Cory Maye Granted A New Trial!...A MUST READ!!!
Some very good food for thought from The Reason Foundation and Reason TV.
-Aaron
*UPDATE!!! - On Tuesday of this week, the Mississippi State Court of Appeals ordered a new trial for Cory Maye. This is heartening news for Maye, who has been in prison since December of 2001. Defense attorney Bob Evans said of the decision, "I am, needless to say, delighted. I'm just ecstatic. We hoped against hope all along that this would happen." Reason senior editor Radley Balko, who has written extensively about the case, had this to say: "At worst, he's guilty of poor judgment under some pretty traumatic circumstances. He had no criminal record, wasn't a drug dealer and has been a model prisoner. Cory Maye isn't a threat to society. Let him go back to Monticello to be a father."
