Well worth the reads - the last paragraph of Standing By - says it all.
We’ve seen the failure and destruction to American society, economics and the foundations America was built upon piece (New Deal) by piece (Affirmative Action) that have not only epically failed - but have created horrible ‘unintended’ consequences.
And once again - it failed horribly in 1993 - we are having to fight this battle against a horribly written, not fully read and vetted, intentionally vague, piece of Un-Constitutional power grabbing, social planning garbage.
And if you don’t support it, you are a racist.
Ok - I’m a right-wing extremist, I’m a racist, I’m an American.
You can have my tax money - but you won’t get my FREEDOM.
Out of my cold, dead hands -
A people afraid of their government is a tyranny, a government afraid of its people is LIBERTY - Thomas Jefferson
And oh yeah -
I vote for malice.
Laws that are carefully crafted and narrowly written Tend to be better than
Laws where the legislator is more concerned about his reelection than actually making good law.
When the Legislators are Lazy, Arrogant or Apathetic we get Vague poorly written Laws that are easily perverted into “Unintended Consequences”.
Excuse me, But sometimes Doing Nothing is better than doing something that you think is good without having thought thru the Potential Future outcomes.
Read the Book, “Unintended Consequences”.
Its a piece of fiction that presents negative outcomes for arrogant Bureaucrats.
Where there is Arrogance I vote for Malice.
I stand by what I said in the comments section of the very same blog you got your first link from:

I can’t tell you how flattered I was that he made it the next day’s QotD.
