Tucked away in the Arkansas Ozarks is a town of few more than 2,000 people. Completely surrounded by Northwest Arkansas' predominantly rural, Republican-tonguing, Toby Keith-loving, race-baiting, homophobic, Confederate flag-waving, closed-minded voters, this fair town affectionately nicknamed "Little Switzerland" may now become known as "Little Amsterdam."

Thanks to some very open-minded voters in this odd-duck town, Eureka Springs, Arkansas has passed local marijuana reform. Granted, this newly-passed measure seemingly won't have any real-world legal impact -- the offfense is a state crime, not a local one -- but during a period when progressive voters are hailing their greatest success as Arizona's libertarian-motivated defeat of a gay marriage ban, this vote should serve as a reminder about what progress really means.
