Nanny State Crackdown

Steve Kelly pokes fun at nanny state legislation.

Unfortunately, too many people have a "there ought to be a law" mentality.  Sometimes it is silly, but more often it is dangerous.  The Duke University case is a reminder that innocent lives can be adversely affected even if the criminal law were limited to violent offenses.   Expanding the criminal law is dangerous business.  Better to keep it limited--and keep a good eye on it.
