Katherine Mangu-Ward takes a look at your Friendly Neighborhood Nanny State.
That’s 12-year-old Jasmine Palmer, speaking her mind to agents from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, Los Angeles County Sheriff, Ventura County Sheriff, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. She was objecting to the loss of her third computer in an early morning raid on her family’s Ventura County farmhouse. They stand accused of selling raw milk goat cheese to members-only food clubs.
I suppose one could say ‘Thank God I don’t live in California’, but the situation’s just as bad everywhere else.
