> So now you want to kill everybody with unsafe drugs

Not true. I want people to be able to decide what drugs they can put into their own bodies. How about his. We keep the FDA, but still allow any drugs that are manufactured to come into the United States, no matter if the FDA approves them or not. Then we put a little lable on them that says "FDA APPROVED" or "NOT FDA APPROVED" that way people can tell that a drug is approved or not by the FDA and can still make that CHOICE on weather to use it of not. All of course provided they consult their doctors and adhear to the state laws that apply. But as far as the Federal goes, then yes, a less powerful FDA would be nice.

> and make all our kids stupid! Well that's great James.
> The education dept has done a great job teaching us,

NOT! The Federal Education department does not teach us anything. 94-96% of all school funding is done at state, local and county levels. So as far as that goes, the FEd only gives 4-6% of all school funding. And it is a known fact that schools that recieve less federal money do better generally because they are private schools. And Private schools are almost always better than public ones. And what do we get for that 4-6%? A stupid nationalized test, lots of dumb paperwork, racial quotas, and a FED that tries to impose it's power upon all school systems in America. No thanks buddy.

Yeah that way they can teach us what to think right? I don't think so pal. The FED has no right to be in education at all!

And actually all state governments

Okay you are a communist arent YOU?? I'm so glad I let you in that way I can burst your little bubble. Okay this nation was founded by 13 INDIVIDUAL governments. Okay the Federal government exists ONLY BECAUSE THE STATES ALLOW IT TO! Just remember that. Read your history better. Why do the states have to agree on regulations? Should Florida have the same clean air act as California? Hell no! Florida has little to no air pollution because it is surrounded on three sides by water! Sea breezes ensure that Florida has nice clean air for the vast majority of the time. I can't remember a smog alert EVER in the 22 years I lived there. And should Wisconsin pay the same ammount for cheese as say texas? no because Wisconsin buys it's own cheese and dosn't have to import cheese as much from other states.

And there are a whole bunch of other examples too, but I feel you are smart enough to get the point....maybe
