The whole point of federalism is to allow for diversity of opinions, lifestyles, culture, etc. Folks who live in oh say ... Berkeley probably don't think that living the way folks live in Crossett AR would be such a great idea. And vice-versa, I feel certain. To me, that's a good thing. People in DC want to live at the mercy of thugs? Fine with me, go for it. Folks in Crossett want to squirrel hunt with their kids before school? Go for it.
