They have still gutted the 10th amendment random thoughts Send a noteboard - 13/05/2015 01:47:53 PM

The whole idea was local control over having some distant authority make your laws but have moved away that because we did not always like the laws other places made. We need to go back to have senators appointed by the state and get away from the lie the interstate commerce clause give the fed the right to regulate any damn thing they want to.

The UK election system is as much a mystery as is cricket..... Anonymous2000 - 08/05/2015 05:44:31 PM 898 Views
It's basically the same system as yours, you do realize? For Congress, anyway. Legolas - 08/05/2015 06:32:54 PM 889 Views
The Scots seem quite suicidal Tom - 09/05/2015 04:29:31 AM 816 Views

The euro can only survive in one form Tom - 09/05/2015 05:39:34 PM 946 Views
Devaluation isn't exactly what you'd call a long-term solution. Legolas - 09/05/2015 08:38:54 PM 840 Views
Oh, I certainly don't support the populist parties Tom - 11/05/2015 01:43:23 AM 693 Views
I agree, "far right" is a misleading label in some ways. Legolas - 11/05/2015 09:29:56 PM 885 Views
What fool or fools started the EU? Anonymous2000 - 09/05/2015 01:37:27 PM 753 Views
Because Europe was doing so well before then, right? Legolas - 09/05/2015 07:51:30 PM 847 Views

Yeah, it was tense enough from the outside... Legolas - 10/05/2015 10:42:53 PM 879 Views
So what is the SNP going to do if Cameron tells them (rightly) to sod off about another referendum? Tom - 11/05/2015 01:45:16 AM 818 Views
Not the SNP so much as the people. Rebekah - 11/05/2015 02:00:32 PM 1010 Views
So the mob rules now, does it? Tom - 11/05/2015 06:04:04 PM 853 Views

Why? Tom - 12/05/2015 07:10:31 AM 882 Views
I think that's enough Putin speeches for you for today. *NM* Legolas - 12/05/2015 06:37:23 PM 509 Views
Ha! It helps to not be 10 martinis in when you post, too. *NM* Tom - 12/05/2015 11:41:48 PM 483 Views

Wisconsin's drinking age The Shrike - 13/05/2015 01:09:53 PM 902 Views
Texas has similar laws random thoughts - 13/05/2015 01:44:29 PM 724 Views
I know. It's really sad that that's the most reasonable law anywhere in the US... Legolas - 13/05/2015 06:26:09 PM 877 Views
It's the same in Louisiana. Ghavrel - 14/05/2015 08:23:20 AM 822 Views
The states still can set the drinking age, incidentally. The feds can just withhold some funds. Ghavrel - 13/05/2015 02:55:51 AM 790 Views

What about open primaries like in California? *NM* Legolas - 15/05/2015 07:22:08 PM 409 Views
Texas kind of has open primaries random thoughts - 18/05/2015 08:34:43 PM 898 Views
They're all right. They're a hell of a lot better than our elected state legislature. Ghavrel - 17/05/2015 05:37:35 AM 786 Views
