Am I anti-regulation

This question is suggested by Christine.

Quick answer:  I don't think there should be a presumption favoring regulation, including in areas that have long been regulated.  Just because the regulation hasn't yet caused the earth to explode doesn't mean it's a good idea.

But the presumption can be rebutted.  For example, there should be a very strong law against ugly cars.   Like those cars that are taller than they are long.  Or that very peculiar Pontiac.  Or anything with a spoiler that is not generally driven at 140 mph.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
