California is weird, example #43,877,012.
I’ve been missing the heck out of Cali lately, but I have to agree with Jen that there are more than three million good reasons not to live there. (I knew Cali was in desperate straits when Mass seemed an improvement, but that is, as they say, a whole other topic.)
In any case, Michelle Malkin has highlighted an article from the Modesto Bee on the latest round of weird legislation in the Bear Flag State. I suppose this sort of thing is only weird if you aren’t the sort of compulsive who thinks that kids ought to be raised the way that the state dictates they should be raised, so consider yourself warned. Each intrusion seems so small and sensible, but together they make up something so ugly as to make the most beautiful of states unlivable.
One of the more interesting side effects of having a baby is that it has brought my libertarian impulse into full flower. On the other hand, when the state dictates whether or not your teenager is allowed to use a tanning booth, or where your kids are allowed to sit in your car, maybe that impulse isn’t so much libertarian as it is just human.
consider this a trackback since ee doesn’t seem to like haloscan
