Summing up what it means to me is that I think we should have as little legislation on the top end as possible. Federally should be in charge of things like war, standardized currency and keep laws(like murder). Then diplomacy between the states ectra. The states should be where most legislation and tax funds should be located. If you don't like the laws of your current state? Research and move to one with better fitting your needs. Over the last 3 or so decades this is becoming more and more a myth, with federal government even dictating what School Lunches contain across all of the states, using guess what, money as the motivator to comply. Do as we say or we cut all your funding to an unrelated topic.
I realize the whole globalization of the economy/world is semi-preventative of this. When you get down to it though democracy Always works better the smaller group you limit it to. County, State, Federal in that order for who's declaring laws and getting most of my tax money.

FYI, murder is not a federal crime. Almost ALL crime is state dictated.

What really hurts federalism is North America's judicial system which ultimately has more say in our countries than the actually elected bodies (this is beginning to leak into Europe, unfortunately). Interestingly, it seems that the "big government" described here is about 75% the judiciary.

no culinary dream is complete without curry. also quality sushi, but this can be excused if you aren't near to fresh salmon or tuna.
