[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send DC back to MD.

Problem solved.[/quote]

Problem solved, other than that

1. DC doesn't want it
2. MD doesn't want it[/quote]

OK.

Then do some kind of Bachelor tv contest and see which state would like to welcome DC.[/quote]

Assuming you are not being absurd for the hell of it...

1. Will DC be considered another county or precinct of the state that wins your government TV contest?
2. How will DC be able to participate in the local government of a state that is not local, assuming that Wyoming wins rather than Delaware? 
3. Will the taxes collected in DC be earmarked for DC or will they be used to fund schools and bridges in Wyoming/Delaware?

Note that I think your idea presents a very compelling argument for YOU not having representation since this is the most ridiculous idea since that time the country elected an abrasive reality TV character as president.[/quote]

Alaska is part of the US, not Canada.

Just saying...[/quote]
