A Honey of a Law

In reading a business guide (From Kitchen to Market, if anyone's interested), I was warned by the author not to attempt to sell honey in 12 ounce jars in California - there, it's strictly forbidden to sell honey in jars of that size. You'd better respect the wisdom of the legislature and use the government-approved 8 and 16-ounce jars for all our good.

Kinda reminds me of a write-up by a nice guy, Jeffrey Snyder, on Wisconsin laws regarding margarine and cheese production. Can you say "unnecessary burden?"

I'm really believing that a government without the will and ability to repeal its own laws (take the recent end of the Spanish-American war, for example) isn't any sort of government at all.
