    Better Careful

    Advocates of the 10th Amendment will be happy. The principle of State's Rights applied well here. Now if only the States will reclaim power to protect their citizens from corporate power. In particular I'd like to see honest food labels on the food sold to me. The Federal government, under George W. Bush, forbade states from protecting its citizens.
