I hate that I can't fix my misspelling of "unencumbered" as I wrote it around 2 AM... but to further explain my imagined and laymen view point in terms of politics, the federal government would be responsible for things like borders and constitutional rights etc. but step back on things the state legalizes that do not infringe on those basic freedom's such as weed for example and money toward scientific research or a carbon tax, etc, that the state's themselves can decide on. Even Roe vs. Wade and Gay Marriage can be up for grabs. The places that are backwards cannot force people to live there and CA and other progressive states will get all the good people anyway. The country cannot have a black and white approach, one-size fits all, obviously as it is so divided as the author describes. How can you have people living in the past dictating our future? It is dead weight. Try telling someone in the backwoods they have to have more restrictions on their guns from a perspective of being in a crowded city. It doesn't make sense to have the same laws everywhere although I still think the gays and women's rights are fundamental but that doesn't seem to be the consensus on the red states.
