I agree, but I believe that state governments should have a very limited role in telling me what is in my best interests. I don't know why many conservatives say, "the federal government has no business whatsoever telling me what I can or cannot do on my property or how to live my life" and also say, "well if the state government wants to tell me what to do on my property or how to live my life I'm okay with that."
We're now a highly fluid/mobile society. The distinction between the states is diminishing with each year as more Americans move out of state each year than are born in this country. It seems strange to say that state legislators have a much better idea as to what is in my best interests than do U.S. congressmen.
