One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
If they had listened to Hayek

Found an awesome quote by F.A. Hayek's Nobel speech from 1974:
"The recognition of the insuperable limits to his knowledge ought indeed to teach the student of society a lesson of humility which should guard him against becoming an accomplice in men's fatal striving to control society -- a striving which makes him not only a tyrant over his fellows, but which may well make him the destroyer of a civilization"
If only the economists running the fed/treasury and the rest of the government were listening to Hayek...
