"So you would agree that the 14th should, at least, be modified?"

At the very least. Ask yourself, seriously, what is the difference between living in Ohio vs. South Dakota?

Maybe slightly lower taxes. Maybe better weather. Maybe .... THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE! We're becoming one state!

Where's the state pride? Where's the competitiveness? We have basically one set of laws that govern all of us. This is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

We're becoming one state!

There are, IMO, two reasons for this.
One is because the fedgov wants control of everything.
Two has to do with globalization.

I may have to move to the booneys in the Philippines within my lifetime to live free.

Are you not supportive of this when it comes to the WOsD? If I am confusing your opinions with other posters, I apologize. It just seems that you are supporting states rights here, when normally you support the feds right to usurp the state's rights........I'm not asking out of any vindictiveness, just asking for clarification.
