But it's important to know how we got here.

If nothing but for the principle of telling the truth.

So I think this article has importance. I'm glad it was written and posted.

It would be refresehing to se a state break the 14th Amendment cycle: refuse to take the federal money and the federal rules.

Things have gotten so bad (or so tolerated) that just recently a large group became alarmed when the congress proposed federal aid to states to help with the cost of local rezoning (the federal way). The antagonist are up in arms over the further federal intrusion. They never once considered not taking the money.

Today we simply assume that if federal monies (and the attached strings that go with it) are available then it's simply the law.

This is the legacy of the 14th Amendment.
