THE Conceit

Buried in the midst of another excellent Fr. J. Schall essay:

Solzhenitsyn's prison experience taught him what is already found in Genesis, that the first temptation is for us to be the causes of good and evil.

That is the very, very brief monitum on Positive Law and on legislating, both in statehouses and in Courts.

Again:

...the first temptation is for us to be the causes of good and evil

Some, very few, understand.

Primum non nocere.

You would do well to follow your own advice.

That's why I always advocated LESS Gummint, OS.

In fact, I would be applauding Doyle if he actually met his own self-proclaimed goal of a 10K reduction in taxpayer-paid WI Gummint jobs.
