The trend which started with ever more intrusive traffic and driving regulations has now begun to spread to other areas, at least in the UK. Extensive driving regulations have had the effect of creating a whole new class of citizens who see it as acceptable to break the law and who see the police negatively rather than positively, at least in one department of their lives. This spread of regulations and the misapplication of intellectually solid zero tolerance policies is going to further undermine respect for the law and the ability of law enforcement personnel to go after the real crimes in our societies.

I'm a Mormon Republican (but also a Brit) living in the Northeastern US. I will tend to focus on US politics but may occasionally meander over into UK politics. During 2008 I'll be focusing a lot on the presidential elections (and I focused heavily on Mitt Romney while his candidacy lasted).
