'Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny'

| May 30, 2009 9:00 PM

On so many occasions when I read of new laws being enacted, whether at the city level or all the way up to the federal government, I am reminded of what Edmund Burke said in 1780: “Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.”

His words seem to take on greater reality with every passing year.
