You mean the federal government becoming more and more involved with the daily lives of it's citizens? Or, do you mean the republican and democratic party abandoning all sense of the rule of law? Or, do you mean bills being passed in congress and signed by the president that are the equivalent of a Rube Goldberg machine in writing? Or, do you mean the complete loss of level headiness by the electorate as the country seems like it is on a course to continually swing from one extreme of leadership to the other and people outsource their thinking to talking heads on radio and TV? Or, is it the complete lack of long term thinking in this country that you are referring to? Because there has been a lot of bs happening during my lifetime and I really want nothing to do with it.

HAHA... Texas and their football mythology. The entire state is still feeling insecure that if you count all of the national championships from all of the football teams they still don't come close to po dunk Oklahoma and Nebraska.

This statement is false

Well, it's obviously retarded ( she's DEFENDING marriage ? How about defending it from a 50% divorce rate ? ).

Were you equally upset when the federal government destroyed states rights on issues such as abortion, sodomy and flag burning?

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Slavery was ended by amending the constitution, which is entirely appropriate. But you are correct to point out that I omitted miscegenation.

Of course. I am not being selective about issues here. In fact, I don't even think the government should be involved in the definition of a marriage since it is traditionally a religious institution. But I think the results should stand. Heck, even with something like health care I prefer to see it decided by the states.
