Subject: But Serpent, we tried that
In reply to: The Serpent 's message, "Re: Each state is supposed to have it's own Democratic ways." on 19:53:21 08/04/02 Sun

After the American Revolution, each state operated like a mini-country, with independent currencies, militaries, etc. It almost brought us to the knees.
Our current Constitution was written in the ashes of the Articles of Confederation. (I have this fear that I got the name wrong.)
During the Consitutional Convention, there was a big debate over how Federal our government should be. This issue pops up repeatadly. But I think the historical record shows that states rights are a bad idea.
