I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust the states to keep the interstates in order. Places like Alabama would probably just let the roads rot. And I damn well wouldn't trust a company to do the flu shots, they would charge too much. The TVA makes cheaper electricity than any power company; in fact the TVA was created because no company would give that region power. Without national labs, our country will be doomed to fall behind China in technology. Without the Federal Government running Embassies, there is no safe haven for Americans around the world. Your retorts are sophomoric and display a true lack of understanding.

Oh yes, the "loony left" claims that climate change is bad. And by loony left, you of course mean the large majority of climatologists, meteorologists, and geologists who all have Ph.D's in this stuff and study it THEIR WHOLE LIVES. Yes, you know better than all of them! This is the problem with America today. Here's the new rule: IF YOU ARE NOT A CLIMATE SCIENTIST, JUST SHUT UP ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING. YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
"Recent research strongly reinforces our previous conclusions. It is unequivocal that the climate is changing, and it is very likely that this is predominantly caused by the increasing human interference with the atmosphere. These changes will transform the environmental conditions on Earth unless counter-measures are taken."

You display the same fundamentalist attitude of the Bush Administration that you are correct no matter what, that things are black or white, and that you understand what is best, rather than people who study these things their whole lives. You show far too much faith in the "invisible hand," but the invisible hand leads to things like Enron, and your answer to everything is "let the states handle it." Here's a question to ponder: how do we pay off our national debt if we do not collect taxes? A large portion of the national debt is owed to China. If we stop collecting taxes, they are bound to come knocking demanding their money. What then?
