i don't see the distinction in this debate between saying "i like state-level control" and "i like peanut butter"
it's an aesthetic preference that has fuck all to do with the topic at hand.
if you are a libertarian and oppose the present debate because in some magical other universe you'd imagine that the same problems would thereby devolve onto the states--as if the states had the resources to cope with it---then it seems to me that what you're opting for really is the present system. because this in-between "idea" isn't an idea at all. it's a fantasy.
so all this stuff about how great the states are and how nice it is to shop around for your favorite flavor of state, being it smooth or chunky, salted or not, amounts to a non-sequitor. an evasion. nothing else.
