Yes, the Confederation government had many successes to its credit. Frankly, I think we made a mistake by abandoning it.

With Kalifornistan out of control and Oregon merily blocking Ashkroft, we can say that we now have a confederation of leftist states. Somehow the legal states always get short changed compared to the unrepenting ones.

I've been considering what our country would look like if we ere still under the ARticles of Confederation. States would still reign supreme. The Fed had no power, but to legislate. No enforcement, no coining money, no military, no nothing.

Certainly would be interesting. Where is that alternate timeline thread?

Actually, there is a science fiction book which describes a "parallel world" in which the U.S. remained under the Confederation government: L. Neil Smith, The Probability Broach. It was published back in the early 1980s.
