I'm against any of these efforts to turn things over to the states...it's just a recipe for disaster. Way to :STP: Liz! I knew you couldn't resist. ;)

It should be clearly stated that the piece is not a New York Times article.

It is an opinion piece written by an author with a very distinct point of view and is full of assumption and speculation.

I agree with much of what was written, but to be completely fair, it should be noted that this is not a factual news article. It's a politician's opinion.

Oh, such rabble-rousers, those politicians! You are right, Chum, I hadn't thought of that aspect of the piece.
