On how government regulation saves lives.

It's a good post. Go read it.

We aren't living alone, in some self-sufficient house of sod on the vast prairie. We are conjoined, part of a greater whole, and we need standard, and regulations to deal with the scale of our problems (how many bridges are there? How many million miles of roads? How many ports?), and the scope of human perfidy (watered milk, chalk in the flour, melamine in the baby formula).

That's what the, "drown gov't" types are inviting back.

In a recent poll, the people who report themselves as "independendences" shifted significantly toward "Government should do more to solve problems and meet the needs of people". Maybe it's not taking long for them to see the consequences of electing people who want to drown the government in a bathtub.

I hope so, because GAH, this is getting ridiculous.
