Hell's Bell's! Are you just noticing this?

The Federal Government can't regulate, food, tobacco, alcohol or marijuana either but it does.

Actually I think the power to regulate alcohol is at least partially proper ... when Prohibition was repealed, the repealing amendment stated something about "shall be enforced by appropriate legislation." So the A in the ATF is Consitutional, by amendment. But the T and F in ATF are not legit, and everything in the DEA is not legit.

No, I've seen this crap for the last 40 years; the only thing that bothers me is that we, as a nation, don't seem to care a whit about Constitutional limitations on government; is it because we are all "on the take" from the public treasury? Or because we figure we all have an economic stake in the doomed Social Security pie? Or is it simply because we all lack the will to really have it out once again, like the Founders did? Maybe we all really believe that the "government" is some benign, fatherly despot that only wants to do things for "our own good"?
