The Nanny State



I took this photo on California Highway 154 near the summit of San Marcos Pass north of Santa Barbara. It is a for-real CalTrans sign. You have to wonder what “genius” thought this was an important (but little-known) piece of information drivers should be given to stay safe.

Anyone who doesn’t understand this basic fact shouldn’t be allowed at the controls of a motor vehicle. Take it as another milepost on California’s decent into madness, and a minor one at that.

The Golden State is magically transmuting into Fool’s Gold before our eyes. In the words of a sitting President, it is “sad.”
