Thanks for your help. > > Steven-Lee --------------------------- Gee Steven, That's getting pretty far off the topic for me...but here goes...... Assuming that your reference to "the US corporation" means the Federal Government.
I have found that while states enjoy some immunity from federal statutes individual citizens of those states never have. I think you are confusing states rights with individual rights. Since all "state citizen(s)" are located within the boundaries of the "United States" they are under the jurisdiction of the Federal AND State governments and associated agencies (like the EPA). Arguing that the Federal Govt. does not have authority over its citizens is a loser. The Feds. have a defacto authority. via the Golden Rule e.g.. "He with the gold rules". or, If you cannot afford to outspend them in court you are definitely subject to their rules. I have often wished it were not so...but it is. This does not mean that individuals have no power...just that they must play by the those rules or suffer the consequences if caught playing by their own rules. Hope this helps.
