This goes on for about 2 hours if you watch the whole thing, but I listened to about 2 parts (20 minutes) and found myself entranced and couldn't help but listen to the rest of it.

If any of you actually do feel like watching it, what do you think? I couldn't help but think "if the federal government has already agreed to repay loans and made agreements with offshore bankers, but then it gets dissolved by the states, what happens to those loans and agreements? Do we pay them back, or just say 'sorry, that government doesn't exist anymore' and let them try to take it by force, if they want it?"

I wish one of the callers in the second half would have asked that, but nobody did. Either way, I thought it was quite intriguing, and was very surprised to hear that 21 states have already or intend to pass bills reasserting their sovereignty... but still can't help but wonder if they intend to follow through on it (should they get the required number to dissolve the fed. gov.)

What do you guys think of the situation?

Thank you Cryptonia, as a big proponent of state, county and city rights. I'll take a look. The main reason why I like states/local rights is that it allows for innovation and experimentation.

If one city tries one kind of water treatment facility, and 10 cities try others, then after time people will know the best operation to run. The same with fire, police & regulation policy. It extends to tax and social policy.

states rights hah! we talkin slavery or the illusion that individual states have any true control that isn't trampled or superceded by federal law?
