the federal govt does get into local affairs way too much. Even the Supreme Court had to rein in Clinton a couple of years ago on his abuse of Power. We are, in fact, 50 seperate countries.

By the way, Greg, didn't you promise a couple of days ago not to post about the election anymore? Regards, Moose

But like anyone else, when they are getting mugged in an alley by Bill Daley and Algore, they call the cops. It's a distinction only a liberal would miss...
