Hmmm, you say everyone lives by the original intent of the constitution? I can’t think of any reply to such a strange view.
I can’t believe you are this naive and am sure you are just pretending ignorance, but I will play along a little.
Our country was based upon separation of authority by levels of government. For example, schools were always considered the sole province of local government. The state and federal levels found loopholes to take this historical ‘community right’ away from them. Our country’s entire history is filled with an ongoing battle between the levels of government for control. Liberalism, with emphasis on individual rights, has been used to allow the federal government to usurp control our constitution never intended them to have. Your fight for individual rights destroys local powers they were intended to have. You are playing into the hands of those who prefer complete centralized control. You may think it is great now, but your children or grandchildren will not.

As I understand the Community Rights program, it's essentially aimed at preventing corporate malfeasance and government collaboration to circumvent environmental considerations ... (like the Flint Michigan water situation). I suppose there may be some "fringies" trying to exploit it's legitimate concerns into some kind of neocon manifesto ... like you are ? They meet at Starbucks I think.

I dream of the United Citystates of Earth, where each Citystate has a standardized border such as one whole degree of Latitude by one whole degree of Longitude.
