"The Death of Common Sense"

Tuesday in New York City, I enjoyed meeting with Philip K. Howard, a fellow Kentuckian and author of "The Death of Common Sense" and "Life Without Lawyers." His work has referenced the CPSC and argues that "safer" isn't always better. For example, if kids find risk-free playgrounds too boring, they may stay home playing video games instead of getting exercise at the playground.
