1. Stossel | What is a Libertarian?

   The Cato Institute posts this excellent intro to Libertarianism to share with your interested friends and family. At the end, Stossel asks for alternatives to the term “Libertarian”.

2. Radio Times | WHYY | Marijuana law enforcement in the city of brotherly love

2. Weavers Way | Philly Proposes a Big Soda Tax
