Catamarans have something extra....

.... (hence, the "War of Northern Aggression" is a perfectly factual term for the U.S. Civil War). .... Well we've found a more divisive topic than multihulls as cruising boats. The question of State's Rights is a vexed one and was hotly argued at the Constitutional convention where the founders punted in full knowledge that the question would come back and bite them. Some (Madison, Adams, etc) clearly thought that art VI did mean that the federal rule was to be supreme and thus (says he, time warping) any succession could only be legal with the blessing of the federal government. Of course, there were very strong opinions on the other side (and there was Jefferson who, typically, managed to argue both sides) and the horrible result was the Civil War. A vast number of words has been written on this topic and the arguments still persist so I doubt we'll solve it here, but I'd be content to concede to everything you wrote if you just change "perfectly factual" to "reasonably arguable". -- Tom. |
