Boortz praises statism yet again

MASSACHUSETTS MAY GET THIS ONE RIGHT

This falls under the "even a blind pig finds an acorn" rule, but the Commonwealth of Massachusetts may be on the verge of raising the minimum driving age to 17 1/2 years. Good for them! So many other states don't have the guts to make this necessary move. We'll keep an eye on this one for you.

The irony is that he links to a Boston Herald editorial that DOES get it right...by opposing the law. And there's no irony in the micromanaging Commonwealth doing this; it's business as usual for them.

Hey, Neal, let's assume you're right and there is a problem with young drivers. Why not drop the age to 15, but anyone under 18 has to have a parent sign off before receiving a licence? No signature, no licence. After all, who besides your parents has any real clue about how mature you are? Orphans can ask a judge.
