One Would Think — 1

What’s REALLY ‘crazy’ here?

Seems to me that a professor of Law at a major university would know about such things as Building Codes and City Ordinances. But apparently academia is more out of touch than I would have thought.

Case in point.....Professor Reynolds, a.k.a., Instapundit, seems to think America is ‘crazy’ if people get upset when someone builds an ediface on public land without prior permission from the bodies that govern that land for the public. But nevertheless Glenn Reynolds says

Jeez. But read the whole thing to find out why it’s rational to be crazy these days.

I can agree with his complaint about ‘liability insurance’ requirements. I can agree with his observation regarding the pettiness of people complaining about children having good, clean fun. I hear those sorts of complaints all to frequently in Zoning Board of Appeals applications.  But I cannot accept his ignoring the fact that the structure was built on public land without permission.

Which is crazier? That people insist on liability insurance against being beaned with a WIFFLE ball? Or that a professor of law ignores the law?
