Answer me this.

Now you've opened the federalism vs state rights worm can, Deebye. It's not something that poor saps like us are meant to understand. It's all got to do with how each state wants to make all of its own decisions on how to run itself, resulting in how X is illegal in state B, but not illegal in state C, and so on. Really confusing. It's really best to let it go past you.

States want self rule so long as it suits them. It's all about leave federal government out of this, we can do this our selves... Blah blah blah.

And then some big expensive mire of some sort comes along and it's "Oh, rescue us Uncle Sam, we don't want to blow state funds on this, we need federal funding and authority!"

Sort of like how states expect FEMA to come in and rescue everybody, but don't want to spend a single frigging dime on their own disaster and emergency contingency plans. People bitch about the taxes, people are entirely to critical of a states circus peanuts budget, etc.

Bah humbug.
