Taking that literally, it should be up to the populace in that given State to elect like-minded representation, and change such laws. It's slow, but it is how our system of government works, is it not?

I am aware of it, and I disagree with it. I (like Rhino) believe that a free market economy is just that, free from intervention by the beurocratic machine called big government.
What I think we differ on is how it should be done away with. Federal intervention, imho, rarely brings about positive change.
