CM raises excellent points.  Why Washington?  I will argue that
while moving control to the states is a step in the right
direction, it is like treating ebola with aspirin.

But this can also be counterproductive because some environmental
problems some may impact one state while the source of the
problem originates in another state.  Thus the need for
some sort of bioregional government.

It is time to completely rethink the whole structure of our
government and give sovereignty to local communities except
where inter-community environmental issues are involved.

The real questions are:  What is the name of the political theory
 that allows "artificial people" (corporations) to kill "natural
  people" (your kids) in order to make profit (larger numbers)?
And does this political theory derive its philosophical premise
 from the teachings of our beloved John Locke or Adam Smith?
