Here is an actual exchange between myself (Me) and this other person (OP):
OP: Ohio has a law that says you must put your headlights on when driving in rain.
Me: I think politicians have to justify their existence by passing more and more laws.
OP: Yeah, local laws are stupid anyway, why when I pass the imaginary line from Ohio to Pennsylvania for example should the speed limit change, or laws regarding the death penalty be different, we're all one country!
Me: Our Founding Fathers believed in Federalism, don't you?
OP: I think having state and local governments is redundant. States are over-rated.
I kid you not, this is a person is college educated, and either doesn't understand American history, or has absolutely no appreciation for it!
Here we are today, celebrating our country's Independence, and there are people in our country who seriously need to learn, or RE-learn what that truly means. Especially with the Progressive movement continuing the assault on our country, if we forget our history, or simply abandon it, we and our children are doomed to be slaves of the government.

American History may not be lost, but it sure is in hiding. It is really quite surprising just how STUPID so many of our fellow countrymen are. Common sense is a misnomer, as it is extremely UNCOMMON!
OP presumes that the Federal Government will always get it right. And, when they do not, there is no recourse. There is no place to turn to; nowhere to go.
Under Federalism, if one state should pass a law that you don't agree with, or should impose a state income tax that you do not agree with, you have the option to move to another state where said laws are not enacted.
