With the passage of Eisenhower of his Interstage Highway Program, the various states receive a huge amount of federal funds for construction of Interstate Freeways, 80% federal funding and 20% state funding. When the freeways were mostly constructed, there came the Urban Highway Construction Act, with which major local roads were federally funded. The local urban roads received the same 80% federal funded but local 20% mostly county funding.<br /><br />All the feds had to do was threaten to withhold federal highway funding, unless the various states did whatever the feds demanded and had no choice but to approve any program the feds demanded, such as environmental and any other programs the feds wanted.<br /><br />IOW, the states had to change any legislation the feds desired. So came to be the extortions by the Federal government.<br /><br />States were simply being extorted to do what was clearly not constitutional according to state constitutions.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-5432677134544954952012-04-19T14:17:59.375-07:002012-04-19T14:17:59.375-07:00Alan,
The greatest lack among environmentalists, ...Alan,<br /><br />The greatest lack among environmentalists, and biological scientists, today, is the denial of prior design in nature. (And I don't use the term "intelligent design", because the fact of design already shows the intelligence behind it.) There should be a "Design of Life" day, in which people would be exhorted to just take a walk outside and look for evidence of design in nature. I see clear design in the smallest flowers on the "weeds" in the field next door. (Last week, I noted that one such "weed" had a flower that resembled a winged insect poised on the plant, with a four lobed "body" simply but amazingly colored to mimic a living, flying insect, its "wings", two of the flower's lobes, shaded darker blue and resembling blurred movement of insect wings, while one lobe is pale-colored and elongated to mimic the "insect's" body--an amazing sight, so simple yet so precise in appearance (the work of a master Impressionist artist), and of course the flower's tiny pollen stalks rising out of this "insect", so that any other insect alighting on it will get pollen on its own body, and carry it to fertilize another plant). The world is literally full of tiny miracles of design, completely ignored and the clear design vehemently denied, by today's empty-headed evolutionists.Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.com
