            If they don't control the increasing level of obesity amongst their citizens, the humongous collective weight might crack the Earth's crust around the North American region, and the land would collapse in by maybe 5-6 inches. Of course Canada and Mexico would also collapse in by about the same number of inches, since they are in the same region, and have pretty much the same density of fast food chains. Does that answer your question? :rolleyes: Regards, Nish

                      [Jumps on Soapbox] It already has. The political system remains, but the foundation of beliefs in personal freedoms and little-to-no government intervention in daily lives has been dying for the last 75 years.

                          We already have that. For the last 3 Presidential elections, we have had people blaming/giving credit to the President for job creation/loss, the state of the economy, and government spending. Anyone who paid attention in high school government class would realize that the President has next to no direct control over any of those issues, yet they were all big issues in the elections. And sadly, that is just the tip of the iceberg ...

Where is the association of states that have the power? Why is everything controlledc as "Regulating interstate commerce"? And go back to 1776 definitions of the words not the evolved meanings.

                                      Some thoughts ... US Dollar is losing ground to other currencies. US Stock exchanges are under enormous pressure. Rising sea levels due to gradual vanishing ice caps. (New York flooded like Venice). San Andreas Fault causing Earthquake that destroys the American Semi-Conductor and Computing Industries. Caldera that is Yellowstone blows its top big-time.
