to one of wombats points, it is a GOOD THING that states are able to for the
most part do what they want - federalism is GOOD. I know that it is a pain
in the ass sometimes when states all have different rules, and that if there was
just a federal rule than it would all be the same... with the states free to do their
own things, then you (the citizen) are free to vore with your feet. Don't like the
way that MA limits your ability to get a permit to carry a conceiled weapon? If it
means that much to you, at least you have the OPTION to vore with your feet - move
to a state that is a SHALL ISSUE state and bingo you have what you wanted.

also, states can be the experimental grounds - you can try something on a pretty big
basis, but not nationwide, like changed to various social services, and if it works then
roll it out to the rest of the country, or if it sucks, kill it quiety. Yes, it would be
"so much better" if the feds would make it uniform, but only if they make what YOU
want uniform. I will go with 50 tries to roll my dave against government interference
rather that one roll for the whole game.
