What I wouldn't give for a federal government that says "You're on your own."

Really. There would be some risks involved. But having Washington DC out of our faces so the state and local governments could operate as intended would be such a wonderful blessing - I can only dream of it.

There are no risks in Kindergarten. Teacher makes sure everyone is nice to each other and that everyone gets a cookie and a trip to the school nurse when they need it

As a local radio personality says often, "Life... is dangerous."

Bring it on.

Appropriate here as well as the Federal government and Duh Wun are deleterious to the people.

As far as risk is concerned, we're more at risk from the tender ministrations of all government than we are if we're left "on our own".
