It is for them to show that their cult of the Providential State is in truth the new revelation they think it is, and that it is not, as a few still believe, the gigantic heresy of an apostate generation.  – Walter Lippmann

Quote:  “Not Every Human Problem Deserves a Law” – Jerry Brown

Governor Jerry Brown's recent conversion to libertarianism? Or was I napping and missed the announcement?

Now, if we can only get him to push for a repeal of thousands of California's unjust and overreaching laws and regulations.

Quote: 

While I appreciate the value of wearing a ski helmet, I am concerned about the continuing and seemingly inexorable transfer of authority from parents to the state. Not every human problem deserves a law.

Who Said It?: 
Jerry Brown
