[quote=Anonymous]That helps illuminate your perspective, and is a legitimate point if view. I’m not persuaded by it because DC was borne out of the attempt to privilege it and make it fair to the states, not out of the intent to oppress it. If DC was just another state, then it should lose all the privileges and they should be fairly divided amongst all the states. Will DC be able to survive as a state?

It’s a legitimate question and I cannot find a good study. I’m truly ready to jump on board but there needs to be some scrutiny. Look at the recent Scottish referendum, it was evenly split but all sorts of questions (nuclear submarines!) popped up. And we are glossing over everything!

If we became a state, would we have an electoral assembly that replaces the DC Council with limits to the mandates? There’s so much to work out but I’m disturbed that we are not even trying to work it out. And while we are trying to work it out we could really squeeze the current status for many many more benefits. But we seem to only care about the appearances for political points.[/quote]
