The proposal to join Idaho isn’t the first effort Oregonians have made to leave the state. In 1941, residents of southwestern Oregon tried to secede by creating a state of Jefferson with northern Californians.

This new legislation is guaranteed to prompt rapid deterioration in buildings that are now high-quality, by forcing landlords to cut their spending on maintenance and repairs.

“In many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city—except for bombing.” — Assar Lindbeck

It’s hard to underestimate the arrogance and stupidity of politicians and bureaucrats.  BUT, then they go and “exceed expectations” to the downside.

I can’t image the logic that ignores the history of “rent control” and it’s impact on the housing market.

Maybe it’s time for a NY-Exit, like BREXIT, but for the states that are unsalvageable.

A law in South Carolina bans playing pinball if you’re under 18. That’s just one of America’s many ridiculous laws restricting freedom.

“There is a role for the government in keeping people safe from actual criminals, people who commit murder, robbery,” says Rafael Mangual, a “tough-on-crime” guy at the Manhattan Institute.

“But a lot of laws don’t keep people safe,” he says. “There’s a federal prohibition on walking a dog on a leash longer than six feet on federal property. It is a jailable offense.”

Lancaster began studying contract cheating more than a decade ago when he noticed one of his own students posting assignments online. “I found one of my students who was putting up my assignment up for tender on an internet site. So, people were bidding different amounts of money to complete that computer programming assignment,” he said.

I guess it made me a better person since I still remember “Danny Lou” and “The Ways to love God”.  It didn’t take, but then I’m not sure it didn’t make me the cynic I am today.

Screen shot form Bloomberg’s controversial Super Bowl ad Democrat presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s $10 million anti-gun ad that aired during the Super Bowl made false claims about child gun deaths and falsely suggested that the victim highlighted in the commercial was a child when he was tragically killed.

Source: Bloomberg’s Super Bowl ad called ‘wildly misleading’, NRA says it left out ‘salient facts’

*** begin quote ***

The one-minute ad features Calandrian Simpson Kemp talking about the loss of her son, George Kemp, who was killed in a shooting in 2013. It showed childhood pictures of him, but none of him as the 20-year-old adult he was at the time he was killed during a gang fight.

*** end quote ***

I saw that commercial and just knew it was slanted.

Like the Trevon Martin coverage, the deceased is “spiffed up” for public consumption.

No one feel that every human death is in some way a “tragedy”.  One can’t be pro-life and not be frustrated by Gooferment policies that make unnecessary deaths a plague on the nation.

In this case, Bloomberg supports the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs”.  Just like (alcohol) Prohibition, it led to gang warfare with  killings.  Why anyone is surprised that the “drug” gangs are killing each other?

End the “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs” and you won’t have a gun problem.  Just like Coke and Pepsi don’t shoot it out over shelf space, neither will the “drug gangs”.  (What does an out of work drug kingpin do?)

In fact let’s turn Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, CVS, and your local pharmacist on the problem. “Illegal” drugs will be so cheap that no one will care.

And, all the money being wasted by the police, judicial system, and the prison system can be redirected to treatment.  After all, it is a medical problem.

Breaking the large unwieldy body politic into smaller fragments will cut down on the “one size fits all” solutions that make no one happy.

Look at the USSR as a prime example.
