Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"I am not naive, nor ignorant of history. But the fact that I can remember a time when it was not so, when we took policy seriously and merely required that we use public policy to improve lives and solve problems rather than reserve action only for hysteria induced panic, makes me a grumpy old man. But its not simply that we need crisis to actually overcome all the grit that has accumulated in the machine. Its that doing policy this way makes for bad policy. Our history shows that relying on waves of hysteria prompted by pop culture campaigns like Reefer Madness produce policies that -- if they do not do more harm than good -- do much more harm than they need to do." -- osewalrus, 2018-01-31
