#4 There is some truth to this. Our own states were set up with respect to the autonomy of the various regions. Each was allowed their own power structures and ability to govern per the desires of the people who lived there. But when it comes to Federal - the laws should be limited to commerce, security, roads, and other issues where cooperation is of a benefit to all.

#7 Hey Darth,

The New Mexicans already have too much water this year. Wouldn't mind sprending it around a bit at all. Ended a 6 year drought in 5 weeks. That's a lot of water.

#8 Few people remember the great Arizona-New Mexico border war of 1925. It began when NM aggressively tried to export its Art Deco-Pueblo style of architecture to AZ. Arizona retaliated with a slash and burn campaign which destroyed all of NMs saguaro cactuses.

This in turn forced the New Mexicans to put green chilis in all their food, even their State dish, dog meat with lard sauce. But they had the last laugh by charging obscene prices to tourists for their pottery and breeding vast herds of avant-guard artists in their art colonies.

And to this day, they try to spread the Art Deco-Pueblo look into Arizona.

#10 It doesn't take a genius to destroy this guy's argument. The United States has two very long borders. The majority of those borders are "drawn with a ruler". The longest and straightest of those borders is with Canada, and we haven't fought a major war against them since 1814. Guess there are exceptions to all the "rules"...
