>>But would you want to have free-enterprise fire departments? Of course not. But I wouldn't want to federalize all of the fire departments, either. There is a legitimate role for government, but IMO power in most cases should be devolved to local governments. Obviously, the federal government has its place: having a Kansan Navy or Oregon currency might create more problems than it would solve. Actually, what bothers me far more than the federalization of airport security is the economic stimulus package, the abrogation of civil liberties, and the bailout of the airlines.
