But we can trust them to use their power only for good

Remember this post?  The law where we essentially banned both the vintage toy secondary market as well as every small toy producer that doesn’t have the resources of Hasbro?  I know, instinctively, that the reaction of most readers was probably less “that’s a terrible law that’s a completely unwarranted government intrusion to solve a problem that doesn’t exist,” and more like, “ok, but they’re reasonable people, no one is actually going to show up and shut down my yard sale.”

To those who rely on the State to make reasonable interpretations of bad over-broad legislation, I present the government manual from the CPSC that you will need to follow if you want to have a legal yard sale.

Yeah, I’m the nut.
