It is the only state with a state-owned bank and a profitable state-owned grain elevator and flour mill, both of which the good people of North Dakota, who mostly vote Republican in presidential elections, embrace and value. -----signature----- E Pluribus Unum

Oh no, see, it's okay...it's not federally owned, but state owned. That's why it's okay. Not that there's any serious logic behind that, imo... -----signature----- E- 80% K- 60% S- 40% A- 20% "That thing you burnt up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit.

Socialism is socialism regardless if it is on the federal, state, city, etc level. This be states verses federal would fall more under the "States Rights" rallying cry where it would wrong to implement socialism at the federal level but if an individual state wants to implement socialism, it is free to do so. -----signature----- E Pluribus Unum
