Here’s a thought to chew on: the larger/more centralized the government, the more unwieldy the laws.

As per this excellent piece by Richard Fernandez, who in turn riffs off Mark Steyn’s observation that “Thousand page bills . . . are the death of representative government.”

I can’t imagine holding a Congressional seat and voting on bills I haven’t read or don’t understand. But it’s a routine occurance — you can bet on it.

Yet another reason we need to bring Washington to heel.
