WhiffleMcMalfie; Nobody knows where it ends, but we fought a big war over it several generations ago. Good point, but that was obviously a different issue. If I was asked can a State do anything it wants - my answer would be "of course not". But if I was asked if a State should have the power to protect it's environment, my answer would change. There is a line of what the feds can and can not do. You can walk right up to that line, but to jump across it is wrong - in my opinion. So far as best I can tell the federal government has been sensitive to the issue of what area can be drilled in. To demand every State open up their waters is the issue. steve
