in Lenox Massachusetts, digesting my three humungous buttermilk pancakes when I saw a Jeff Jacoby column in the Globe decrying the Commonwealth's ticket scalping laws.
Fair enough, you can make an argument against these pettifogging statutes, that this is a venal transgression too miniscule to invite consistent enforcement....and that is a bad thing generally.
Jeff was making the usual dog-days of late summer libertarian argument, pretty unremarkable stuff...I wonder though where his highminded freemarketeering ends?
Does this mean that Jeff is gonna come out for rescinding the Commonwealth's puritanical public solicitation laws? Or maybe just maybe he'll demand the State Legislature strike down that false invasive 1913 anti-miscegenation statute, the one that prevents out of state gay couples from gettin' hitched hyar?
Or is he justing making easy libertarian hay without downing any heavy lifting?
