we have a big government now.
and i would consider us neither facist, nor dictatorial.
no doubt the founders wanted strong individual states.
but just the fact that they signed the constitution meant they also knew each of them was better off being a part of the whole.
and, a lot has changed in 200+ years.
who knows what they would think today.

i really have no idea what that means.
if safety standards,
education standards,
and child welfare enforcement are 'telling us how to raise our kids!',
then yes,
i want the government doing that.
