And I doubt any negative comment would've been said about Lincoln except for that Ron Paul said it first.
The south didn't have anything going for it during the Civil War.

I didn't like that other guy.
The problem with just letting the states do what they want, is that states don't have the money, gold, silver, whatever monetary value RP wants to use. You can't just say, oh, you fight your own battles within your own state. States don't have the money to control drugs and crime on their own. Is that the state's fault? Maybe, but maybe not. It doesn't really matter who that blaim falls on because the point is, it's a probelm. I just don't think just turning everything lose on them is wise. States have better things to do than to hold elections to see if they want schools to remain integrated. What a waste of time and money. If Ron Paul wants to explain how states can raise enough money (without raising taxes and without depending on money from the fed govt, since that would be gone due to completely cut taxes) to be completely self-sufficient, then I'll gladly hear it. And I'm sure governors would gladly listen too.
