Re: Small government said by hoyleysox:Local requirements make it more difficult to run a nationwide network. Diferent communities have different needs. One community will demand that pay-per-view broadcasts be blocked to prevent pron, other communities will say they want the provider to build a new parking lot. It makes things much easier to have a nationwide standard that hopefully won't upset too many people. Just because something is "more difficult" doesn't give the feds the right to regulate it. The federal government only has the right to regulate services that cross state borders.
So if I grow oranges here in Florida and sell them to my neighbor the feds have no right to tell me anything about my selling of the oranges. The local government can levy taxes and tell me my oranges have to be such-and-such. If I ship them to Georgia then the feds can come in and tell me what I can and can't do with my oranges.
If I own an orange grove in Florida, and an orange grove in California, it may be more difficult to have to deal with the regulations of each local government, but it's their right to be difficult.
For issues such as, which pesticides I use, the feds can regulate that because those spread into the water and into the ground and affect everyone, not just Floridians.
Power needs to stay in with the local governments where it belongs.
