In huge reversal, Maryland lawmakers make good decision!

I recently posted about Maryland legislators passing a ridiculous law prohibiting Wal-Mart to decide for itself how to spend its own money!

In a stunning turn of events, a good decision was made in that great state where I used to call home! The Baltimore Sun reports that Maryland has repealed a law regulating the price that private companies could sell gas for. This, of course, is based on the faulty premise that two human beings could not come to an economic decision without the intrusion of government.

Free markets (aka capitalism, aka freedom, aka the opposite of communism) have scored a nice victory today in the beautiful state of Maryland! Great quote from the Sun:

"Proponents of the repeal said in a hearing yesterday that the government shouldn't regulate prices, and that free-market competition will benefit consumers."
