No Way to Force Customer to Select State?

So what I found out is that the default CS-Cart installation doesn’t have a way to force the customer to choose a state if there is no default state chosen. I don’t want a default state, because then people sometimes just leave it set at my state and they end up paying sales tax unnecessarily. I guess I could set the state to something different, like Ohio. However, the one-step-checkout add-on from CSCartRocks has this feature! You can force state selection when there is no default state chosen! CSCartRocks has now turned this on for me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
See this forum post for more information about this great add-on:
