It seems like a lot fo the polarizing issues of our time are the big social ones: guns, gays, abortion, same sex marriage, etc. It seems to me they are getting in the way of our addressing the really big issues: our place in the world, health care, job loss etc.
Of course we have this to some degree now, but there is so much pressure to make the country homogenious (no reference intended) that it feels like we are hung up on trying to make us all alike when we are not.
Why not let all the states address these issues and keep the feds out? If you want to live in a ultra conservative place you go there. If you want a liberal atmosphere you move there. Isnt this then the "land of the free"? Would this not relieve some of the red-blue tension?

Yes, social issues need to be left to the states!
Abortion, marriage, guns, etc.....were at one time regulated BY THE STATES!!
