I propose a new division system for the United States of America. See, when it all started, we were just thirteen little colonies of very different types of people who had a common oppressor: Britain. Today, it's the same thing, it's just that the common oppressor is the federal government.

So instead of the federal government, I propose five new provinces: the northeast, stretching from, say, Illinois into Maine; the southeast, covering everything south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of Texas; the southwest, covering Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona; the midwest, covering west of Illinois and east to the Rocky Mountains; and of course finally the west, covering Nevada, parts of Idaho, and all the states touching the Pacific.

Each of these five provinces has the same amount of power. Each of these provinces has the same amount of representatives in the Senate AND in the House. There is no president, just provincial governors. And most importantly, the laws of the provinces are set by the provincial government, which consists of the governors and lieutenant governors of each state, along with the senate and house of representatives, of course. And yeah, there has to be a judicial system, but it has to be held accountable...meaning that common sense needs to be in place more than legal precedents set by high and mighty Supreme Court Justices. There ARE good lawyers out there, we just have to find the ones who haven't been corrupted. Might want to try your local law schools, because that's when they are ready to take on the world.

That actually goes into the entire point behind my blog's title of Diaper Rash: Politicians are a lot like diapers. They should be changed frequently, and for the same reasons.

Think about that for a few seconds. Think about what those reasons are, and how adequately it describes virtually all politicians, regardless of political affiliation.

Webster signing off.
