As a young ball player I one day wanted to grow up and play for the Detroit Tigers, I wanted to because that was where I grew up, I new everything about the players, and the World Series gave me a great scene of pride in the team and Michigan as a whole.
All of a sudden someone was talking to me about trade, and I was lost for words," a player from another state to play for Michiganders, no we don't want him. Well little did I know players come from all over and go all over, don't let the name full you, The Detroit Tigers aren't from Detroit or even Michigan. I bet the Red Wings aren't either:) Lo..............L
Nationalization of every thing is occurring, and first the States loss their identity and then everyone else,just because some people believe everything should be the same every where they go, so they are for the Federal Government getting bigger and even standardizing local laws and everything else. Now that is where I see a serious problem, because if know one cares about their State anymore, and or respects other States for their differences than as Americans we loose the choice to live in the Sates that most Identify with the way we feel today. I may like the State of Tennessee better when I'm 72 than I like it today, but if everything becomes the same everywhere and the only differences I find is not in the States, but in the Cultures that remained from Immigrants that refuse to assimilate into an American society, then all we will become is a subdivided land into different cultural and ethnic groups, under one umbrella Law of the land, and powerless to our Freedom and Liberty, powerless to even Speech.
States must encourage the people that live in there States to take pride once again, it is hard with MTV and Hollywood and a arrogant Federal Education System, Florida and Texas home to NASA, and soon NASA maybe gone and absorbed by the ever present Universities( Space programs, Sports, Medicine, Research,Environmental, contracted to do investigation, lending), you name the Universities are more well known that the States are anymore (Why?) and they put out bias Athletic Programs as well. States Rights have got to be returned to the States, and all taxation at the federal level eliminated IRS eliminated Property Tax eliminated, Death tax illuminated and therefore giving States power to limit Government Spending,The Federal government now owns teachers in most states and buys their votes, not to the benefit of the given state but a benefit to the Federal Government, and they decide what Universities to support and Unions and so on, That money and education belongs in the hands of the States first, naturally anything that limits the power of The Federal Government will be met with stanch resistance from the Democrats and Progressives.
Yep you can't imagine how much better and more exciting those ball teams would be, if the players had to actually be born in the State they represented, Pride and fear of loss would be the motivators, not how much you paid for a player or how much a player owed a team. That is the weakness much of the world seeks for America, and I say the power to restore America is in not losing the identity of the States buy an over shadowing Federal Government, demand the powers granted in the Tenth Amendment back to the States. Then and only then will the World and all Americans once again feel the power of "The United States of America"
PS: I know you guys know all this already, and some of my statement may not be correct, but LOL I think the Federal Government has stolen the Identity of our States and power and therefore should return it before there is no America. Paul Long winded I know I have nothing else to do:) LO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>L
