If you choose to attack rather than discuss, you can stand on your soapbox alone.

Clarification: I am *not* saying that "American States rights is the antidote", or should somehow be paramount to the workings of the world...why don't you re-read what I wrote? I said that, as an example, the way that the US has gone from power of the individuals through the sovereignty of smaller States to where we are now with a President who does not need Congress to ratify going to war, should be enough for anyone to question the giving over of power to even *larger* governmental bodies.

You may read in whatever you wish...you are a Troll, and will pick apart whatever you feel will fan the flames regardless of whether or not much of what is being said actually supports your argument. You are here for trouble, not debate. So, have at. I am going back to reading music threads, making my thoughts known to the public officials who represent me, and planning a wedding. "Debating" here with you is a pointless waste of time.
