[Osborn F Enready]

Alec, it is state rights to write civil laws to create and establish order of the people. The Fed is in place to take care of National matters, and write laws worthy of noting effect to the entire populace. The state has the right to outlaw things, as you cited, as long as they do not infringe upon the constitution.

You obviously confused my use of the word liberty, for the meaning of reckless abandon and no self responsiblity.

I believe each person is responsible for themselves, and each state has the right to write their own laws regarding the will of the people within that state, as long as they dont infringe on the constitution, or individual rights.

Here are a few examples of current Federal Infringements;

Violations of Federal asset forfeiture laws.
(D.A.R.E., B.A.T.F., F.B.I.)

Illegal collection and application of Income Tax

Mis-Use of Military Power

Purposely mis-leading, and mis-informing the public as to International Affairs, when the government represents the people.

Writing laws by Executive Order, instead of in Congress.

Placement of Unconstitutional inter-governmental agencies.

Purposely allowing the War Powers Act to remain in effect while in no state of emergency.

etc. etc. etc.

I have not even addressed your social security, the way they spend your illegally obtained tax dollars, or the double standard enforcement of drug laws.

I truly prefer to debate facts, and not rhetoric.
