the state border would have to be monitored.

Ever drive from Nevada into California? There are Agricultural border checkpoints everywhere. You need to get out more.

If the state does it, then the legalizing state is putting a burden on the state that wants it to be illegal.

Cry me a river. There are literally "dry" neighborhoods in Dallas. I suppose you'd like to make the entire City of Dallas ban alcohol so the poor widdle dry neighborhoods aren't unduly burdened. The same thing is true in Kentucky at the County level. So you best get busy destroying the Bourbon industry in Kentucky.

People like you always have a thousand reasons why Liberty won't work. It'd be fascinating if it weren't so poisonous.

Reason is the most widely circulated journal of libertarian opinion.

If you say so.

Congress lifted all federal speed limit controls in the November 28, 1995 National Highway Designation Act, fully delegating speed limit authority to the states."

Mighty big of them. Got another?

The Interstate Commerce Commission you say. Well be still my beating heart. One whole Commission....wow...talk about your bold steps. Don't go for everything in one bite now. Best to take a few decades to get rid of another one.

Remind me again how many the Republicans got rid of under Bush?

Do you think you are really just going to impose this on people in our system?

And yet you're perfectly content to impose the opposite system on the rest of us. Here's a clue Mr. Research Mathemitician; 47% of Americans no pay zero income tax and almost 40% are being paid some sort of Federal 'benefit'. Crunch those numbers and get back to me.

I'm sick of paying for slackers to slack, and I'm sick of paying for babysitters to watch them. Legalize all of it and sell it to anyone over 18 in five pound sacks at Safeway. Conversely get rid of every single 'benefit' from Food Stamps to direct welfare payments to 'free' emergency medical care.

Put all the poison you want into your body but pay for it AND the effects and leave me the hell alone.

Hell, you guys haven't been able to put a dent in the welfare state for 80 years now

And your Republicans have done such a bang-up job of denting it. Hell, they haven't even scratched the paint. In fact they added the largest Federal 'benefit' since frigging LBJ. Yea, they've got the moral high ground on this health care thingy after expanding Medicare to levels Johnson couldn't have dreamed of.

Wait, I'm wrong. You do complain that other people aren't doing enough.

That's because you're not. And complaining about the Republicans is far better that what the Republicans have been doing for the last 15 years, namely making the problem worse.

Sovereignty is with the states. That's what "states' rights" means.

Bourbon industry in Kentucky.

Interestingly, Moore county, TN is dry. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is distilled there.

600K. It's not up with NR, TNR or the Nation, but it's respectable.

Proving my point yet again. You obnoxiously asked for one example. One. I gave you one. Now you want another. Just like a welfare recipient. You wait for me to give things to you and it's not enough. I answered your silly questions. If you want to debate further, bring something to the table.

Bitch, bitch, bitch...whine, whine, whine.

First, it's Doctor Research Mathematician. And I will have the grace not to point out your poor spelling.

47% of Americans no pay zero income tax and almost 40% are being paid some sort of Federal 'benefit'.

Wow, sounds like you libertarians have done a great job. Pat yourselves on the back.

Nah, that would be too much effort. Complain that Republicans aren't patting you on the back.

Once again, this will not happen. Will. Not. And you just advocate making it more difficult. You think people will take away money from the poor child of the pothead mom?

Ah, it doesn't matter. You know full well that you can feign outrage about the welfare state knowing that nothing will ever happen about it.

And your Republicans have done such a bang-up job of denting it.

You've done less. Even less. Actions speak louder than words and you and your ilk are mute. Obama's driving this country into full-bore socialism and the self-appointed leaders of the vanguard of liberty are wasting their effort on pot.

Well done, guys. Liberty is safe in your hands.

the Republicans...the Republicans...

Well, at least the freedom to complain is still intact.
