So you are in favor of a federal dictatorship? No state legislatures or city councils or county commissions?

What if there is no federal law that applies to a local need? Must the local people wait until the feds act to meet that local need?

You will necessarily need a huge fed gov, and an army of bureaucrats!

So you'd have my state banned from buying liquor 24/7? Because that is what would happen if one law fits all was implemented. Do you ever think?

The AEP advocates free-market capitalism. This means that the entire country could buy liquor 24/7, and not just liquor either, any so-called illegal drugs. People should not be persecuted or prosecuted by local governments hellbent on running everybody's life.

first law, everyone dresses like Bozo

Come and live in England then.

This sounds more like running everyone's life than the way it is now. Where is the right to vote? Shouldn't there be a place for prudes to conjugate? Personally, I think every state having its own flavor is the best of all possible worlds.

If you don't like drinking, you can move to utah where they have stricter laws and you can't see alcohol (except beer ) in the grocery stores. If you don't like certain people fucking, you could move to a place where they aren't allowed. If you want to use all the resources of your state with no regulation you could move to texas and chew the air.

Bob's idea of freedom sounds great, until you want chomsky as president, that's where all hell breaks loose. Bob idealizes his AEP until they put a law into place that he doesn't like...lol. So much for freedom.

Come to the real world Bob...there is no possible true freedom the way you see it....because you live in a world of people different from you! Duh! The only possible way to have the most freedom is to give the most freedom to your fellow man.
