Ah yes, the war started by that tall skinny despot in the White House,
who decided that states rights didn't matter. To prove his point, and
to get those "unpatriotic" people who valued states' rights and didn't
want to pay the high taxes, he unleashed his troops, led by a general
who was anything but a gentleman, to burn, pillage and rape throughout
the South. The past few present administrations are shining examples
of that despot's legacy, determined to prove that the federal
government should have all of the rights and that the people are
supoposed to have virtually none, particularly if such rights
interfere with corruption, greed and other related preoccupations of
the politicians and their corporate puppeteers.

Very interesting. I wonder what condition those pipes are in by now.
