I think there are fundamental changes that must be made -- but I'm more a gradualist, and peaceful change often comes gradually.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good comments!Robert Cornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04581876323110725024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980286.post-17579485057646131362007-10-26T16:17:00.000-04:002007-10-26T16:17:00.000-04:00To me, liberals and radicals are completely differ...To me, liberals and radicals are completely different breeds. A liberal is someone who wants to reform the system; a radical is someone who thinks that the very roots of the current system (hence the word "radical", which comes from "root") need to be replaced. <BR/><BR/>I don't think it has anything to do with youth or age. I think the word "radical" has a bum rap; people often associate it with "extremism" or violence or whatever. I think it just means that you want to make fundamental changes that underlie the core of society. You can certainly be a peaceful radical. To me, by that definition, Jesus was a radical.Mystical Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828225180668865911noreply@blogger.com
