Our federal system was originally set up to be a union of sovereign states allowing for differences between each one. The real solution to their problem is states rights. When the majority of important decisions are made at the level of the central government states have less control over their own lives.
Being smug about forcing your onions on others diminishes the validity of your objection when it comes back your way.
What comes around goes around.
I agree. No one should be able to force their produce on others, particularly onions. I mean, after all, our onions are far superior to your onions!
