“I maintain most state officials less they are conservatives are in favor of federal power. Your assumptions are incorrect.”
Its funny how I always try to never simply say “your wrong” and how often I need to say just that.
My assumptions about human nature are not incorrect and your specific extreme examples also known as exceptions (If they were necessarily likely true) hold no relevances to the rule of Human nature.
Frankly given your stated bias in this situation has left me at a loss as to wether or not it is possable to get you to accnolage that the exception is not the rule.
After all as you made rather clear the only thing that really matters to you is the most likely exception...
Should I wast my time making an argument about the greater good? How while you may be enslaved in your state the rest of us will be more likely liberated? I’m sorry but I reject that kind of thinking, I wont expect you to sacrifice yourself so that the rest of us may be more free. So all I can say to you is to do as your ancestors almost certainly did, immigrate to anther State(anther land) to regain your freedom.
We cannot free a fish form water, but we can alter the water as to make the Fish MORE LIKELY to free itself from that water.
The corrupt political class feeds itself.
We'll have to agree to dis.
