I wish these people that think that the government should provide health

that health care.

Or Asian auto discounts, or federal "education" etc. etc. etc.

Flush the toilette NOW, not in the enxt election.

Damm good time to split the country into several segments. The states have
NO purpose any longer except to be sub level asset collection divisions of
individuals' productivity so some scum can get elected.

The "gimmee everything for free" crowd needs to read some Solzhenitsyn, but
then if they could read, they wouldn't be so completely stupid.

Ohhhhhh ... forgot, they went to gubment skoolz..

I believe there was a small discussion of states rights about a 150
years ago. However parts are still being debated. An example is New
Orleans. Because of States Rights the Federal government could not go
into New Orleans until requested in witting by the local authorities.
People who did not understand the States Rights issues involved blamed
the federal government for not responding. When in reality the local
authorities decided they did not need help until it was to late.

This States Right Issue is why in some events the area are designated
disaster areas before the disaster occurs. The local authorities know
what is about to happen request the Federal Government in witting before
the disaster so the Federal government can start moving troops,
equipment, and supplies into the area.
