re: #20 Targetpractice

The Articles were a mess because a rump federal government can’t unite a damned thing. And when the states each have their own ambitions and reasons to avoid working together with others, you get a “nation” that is little better than herding cats.

Bingo. And no nation, no real progress. I don’t see a lot of cool high tech stuff coming out of failed nations that are stuffed full of these self sufficient rugged individualists.
