I'm still a bit miffed that proponents of indivisualism, local government, and parental rights are seem to be the first to blame the central government authority for not doing their jobs. Surely someone in the house or town knows better about what's going on than a Fed does. A generalization, I know, but from my vantage point, it tracks.
