I know how to take good ideas and turn them into sensible law at great odds.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Good ideas are the backbone of good government.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Good ideas are often murdered by better ones.
Despite my emphasis on technology, I do not view laws as inherently evil. My goals are political ones, even if my techniques are not. The only way to fundamentally succeed is by changing existing laws. If I rejected all help from the political arena I would inevitably fail.
The economic analysis of law has had many good ideas. It's had one great idea -like, world-transforming idea, I think. And the idea is, when you're stuck, minimize the sum of the costs of decisions and the costs of errors.
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
My mind seems to have become a kind of machine for grinding general laws out of large collections of facts.
When you come up with a good idea, you don't have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.
Sometimes the best, and only effective, way to kill an idea is to put it into practice.
Write what you think is good, is the whole of the law.
