"The way to have safe government is not to trust it all to the one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to everyone exactly the functions in which he is competent....To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations..... The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally. The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best." Thomas Jefferson
Funny how people who accuse us of being Nanny Staters because we are opposed to legalized and public and at this point practically manditory vile and disgusting immorality, yet they are the ones who hate and fear States Rights and luvvvv an all powerful Fedgov ruling by black robed diktat.
Funny.
