Sic Semper Tyrannis

Today's Flag Burning legislation and the Supreme Court's ruling on the use of eminent domain by local governments for the purpose of economic development bring to mind a couple of thoughts. There was a time when we had less legislation, more enforcement and many more people were kept in line through public shame and scorn rather than endless rules and laws. It seems like an ultra conservative thing to say. But, I'm not sure even our Federal Legislature needs to meet year round. Maybe two months out of every year. They're always cooking up new ways to mess with society.
