I'm sorry to say, but the federal govt. is the BEST THING that has EVER happened to America. There was terribly slow growth, laws prohibiting people from moving around, all kinds of sinister political figures that basically blackmailed local business owners for money. No, the fed govt is a great overseer and ensures states don't do damn near well whatever the Hell they feel like doing.

For instance, look at my comment under rommelspain for an example of a problem between Tennessee and Georgia.

@TheAskMegChannel Yes, it's great when the Feds ban raw milk, or bomb children with our tax money or regulate the amount of water our toilets can flush. It's great to be totally ruled over and regulated by an increasingly totalitarian welfare-warfare state.

The Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government to serve them, not to rule over them!

Deo Vindice!

the federal system CANNOT be reformed! our only hope is a complete separation from the district of corruption!

[JesusDillinger]

@TheAskMegChannel You suggest that "war between the states" is prevented by the D.C. gang. I take it the irony escapes you.

@RedShirtArmy i'm sorry to be a PRICK but put this into your web browser.

Now if these two states decided to go to war, you think that would be allowed in a modern federal system? Hellllll No! So thanks to the fed govt being the big, bad system it is, we avoid such trivial problems. As inter-border warfare. Ain't modern govt. just cool?

[TheAskMegChannel]

@IslandersMets10 So if there was no fed govt, don't you think GA could have sent troops/militia to TN to get them to 'settle' on letting them have that Tennessee river water? Yes! Guns solve problems. Not with a federal govt in place.

Google on "tennessee georgia water war" to see I am telling the truth.

We need SMALLER Fed govt, but very small govt. would lead to problems.

America does NOT need any state wars.

@rommelspain About 3 yrs ago Atlanta asked Georgia state gov to find new water resources. Georgia state govt started pressuring Tennessee to let them tap into the Tennessee river south of Chattanooga. TN said "NO".

GA then dug out a nearly Civil-War era map & claimed that Chattanooga (which has ALWAYS, _ALWAYS_ been a part of TN) was partially in GA territory at the time the map wad drawn. Hogwash! So GA threatened to take TN to federal court (existing today, not long ago) over the issue.
