re: #58 Decatur Deb

That kind of idea came up during the Carter years, especially when he floated the idea of moving part of the federal government out of DC area.

The idea, IIRC, was that states would be grouped into regions, a kind of super-state area for purposes of some governance.

If NAFTA is on the ropes, and the yahoos are still screaming about NAU conspiracies, I suspect any idea to fudge over state borders is a no-go.
