The article "The Continuing Fall of Federalism" written by George F Will is an interesting piece that appeared in the opinions editorial section of The State as well as in the Washington Post. Mr Will describes how the new proposal by Senators McCain and Feingold is not only bad idea but also may be eroding away some of the principles upon which our country and constitution are founded. I especially found it intriguing that McCain-Feingold are proposing a restriction of time, quantity and content of political speeches. Personally any form of regulation on speech is not only repugnant but truly terrifying. Once speech is regulated by the government it is only a short step to controlling many other aspects of our lives and Big Brother watching.
The article, which is an opinion, is well written, thorough, and informative. Mr Will is a regular contributor to the Washington Post dealing primarily in foreign and domestic politics. This article is primarily written to the mass public and those people of voting age, because it is so essential that those of us who do participate in the political process are well informed.
