I didn't write my opinion that we couldn't go back without some forethought. To try to answer your question of why we couldn't go back, let me just ask you this question...

Which of the currently provided services provided by the federal government would you agree to give up?

• Food & Drug Administration
• Department of Homeland Security
• The national parks
• The federal interstate highway system
• The SEC
• The Air Traffic Control system
• Medicare
• Social Security
• Veteran's Administration
• Center for Disease Control
• NHTSA
• U.S. Postal Service
• The Environmental Protection Agency
• DEA
• Immigration & Naturalization Service
• All the federal hospitals

I could go on, but I think you might get the drift. These are just a few of the services currently provided by the central government which either couldn't be adequately provided by or afforded by the states.

Like I said...there's no going back. We're way too far down the road towards a strong central government and weakened state and local governments.
