FYI: What is Virginia doing to reinvigorate Federalism?
ALLEN: On November 14, 1994, I established the Governor's Advisory Council on Self-Determination and Federalism. This council is composed of respected government leaders, businessmen, educators and other professionals who will study the most effective and efficient means for implementing state sovereignty ideals in the restructuring of our state's government Specifically, the council will study how federal unfunded and partially funded mandates impede Virginia state and local governments...

From wiki:
Macaca is a pejorative epithet used by francophone colonialists in Central Africa's Belgian Congo for the native population. It is derived from the name of the genus comprising macaque monkeys whose name has also itself been used as a racial slur. The macaque's genus name, Macaca, is a latinization of the Bantu (Kongo) ma-kako, meaning "monkey".
