This thread never had any merit to begin with, Jonnan's historically accurate post included. We can thank Justice Marshall for that fuckup. We're supposed to have gotten a limited federal government, and most of these massively complex regulation schemes that don't in any way regulate(regulate, as it was used in the Constitution, verified by the people that actually wrote it, is to make regular, not restrict and control) would ever have been written if the federal government were staying within its prescribed boundaries. Such insanity as which type of lightbulb you're allowed to use would be left to the states.
That none of the massive beaurocracies founded by such bills actually function in anything resembling an acceptable manner is probably more relevant to the discussion, but pointing that out is equally futile. Jonnan can't even admit that the USPS is inefficient, so even were he to make a well reasoned post explaining things it wouldn't have gone anywhere else. If someone were to just say that you all suck dick, that would probably have more long term value than the ensuing baseless rhetorical diarrhea.
