Equality is over- rated. Differences in circumstance dictate differences in policy (for example, how dire is the crack problem?), and it may be just as well that certain sections of the country are noted for being more congenial to those who are more traditional, and other sections for those less so.

In America folks decide what they think is fair. The lives of those in different parts of the country are different. Some as a whole may chose to be strict and some to be less strict. You miss the essential point that America is made of United States. Each state is it's own sovereignty. The Constitution is an agreement of the sharing of power. You seem to mistake the fact that because across states there is cooperation that they are not their own sovereignty. Each state has the laws that are passed by those elected in that state. In some cases a state law may violate the rules of being a member of the United States, the Constitution. Then the federal Government has a roll to play. You ignorance of the structure and separation of powers in America seems once again your problem. Fair is that anyone can move freely to any state that has laws he likes. Fair is also that one can live and work to make the laws in any state to be what he thinks is fair. One can work to design a framework of law that one thinks should be a model. But the members of each state are free to like it or not. That's the fair American way. tom watson tosiwmee
