Quote by Ronald Reagan

The federal government did not create the states; the states created the federal government.

The federal government did not create the states; the states

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that the power and existence of the federal government in the United States is derived from the states. It implies that the states, as independent entities, came together voluntarily to form a national government, and that the federal government does not possess inherent sovereignty or authority over the states. This viewpoint aligns with the concept of federalism, which advocates for a division of powers between the central government and the individual states, resulting in a system where both levels of government coexist and share responsibilities.

Among other things, drag queens are living testimony to the way women used to want to be, the way some people still want them to be, and the way some women still actually want to be. Drags are ambulatory archives of ideal moviestar womanhood. They perform a documentary service, usually consecrating their lives to keeping the glittering alternative alive and available for (not-too-close) inspection.
