Relocation

I have long thought that the national seat of government needs to be moved. Washington is indefensible. It could be obliterated in a bunch of different ways and we wouldn’t even know who hit us. Add Trump to that equation.

He has not only not drained the swamp he is locking us into permanent swampdom. And who would want to live in a house he has inhabited? To sit on a toilet he has used? Oh, fucking yuck. I wouldn’t bring in a cleaning crew but a priest. 

The whole city feels fouled and polluted. This is a chance, however, to start over. We should pass a lot of anti-lobbying and anti-corruption legislation, then move the capital immediately to somewhere deep in the middle of the country.

Public service should again be something people do from a commitment to something other than greed and a lust for power. That would be easier if our elected officials were living in a desert or fucking wasteland miles from everything.
