[quote=flu][quote=harvey][quote=flu]Here’s food for thought. What if, instead of the supreme Court deciding women rights, gay rights, seperation of church and state for the entire country, the supreme Court just ruled permanently that those rights would be decided strictly by the states individually…

That way if the majority of a state wanted to ban abortion, they can ban abortion. And those states that are pro choice, can have pro choice… And then if the states laws don’t fit your belief system…well, move to a state that does.?

The federal government would then only be responsible for defense of the country, some infrastructure, and some research and development.[/quote]

Wow.

You just missed the entire meaning of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.[/quote]

Maybe, but wouldn’t it solve the problem? i mean that way red states that want their ultra conservative “values” can have it in their respective states. And folks here in CA can have want we want. And then people will tend to gravity to where they feel comfortable living?

The problem with U.S. is since it’s a medley of different people with different views, cultures, norms,etc. Perhaps, a “one size fit all” doesn’t exactly work.[/quote]

The divide is not between the red states and the blue states; it is between the metropolitan areas and the countryside.
