[[So, imagine how this country got along before Federal overreach.]]
You mean like when men were able to hunt down and kill their daughter’s rapists and be justified in the courts? Those days are over- like it or not-
[[I could continue, but obviously the concern that the federal government fixed anything that localities or individuals couldn’t, is not apparent.]]
It most certainly is apparent- with dramatic results no less- The average lifespan was just 39 years old thanks to many unhealthy issues you listed and more like medicine safety requirements, work safety issues etc- We now stand at what? 80 years average?
[[Folks, we have a FReeper who wants a strong regulatory environment.]]
LOL- since when did common sense regulations become advocacy for ALL/strong regulation? Cripes- Many things should be state legislated- but some issues concerning safety and protection should be federal
I love your slippery slope! Safety and protection should be federal! Like guns! They're dangerous! The Federal Government needs to disarm citizens! Right?
