Don't like where the state draws a line? Fine, pack up and leave going to a state more to your liking.

Don't like where the federales draw a line? Tough! Should states control education, for example? Watch what will happen in California as the courts attempt to throw a blanket over home schooling. Now envision that same control at a national level. How will the response differ in the two scenarios.

The founding fathers considered the states to be laboratories of liberty, for good reason.
