No answer has been given. Virtually every argument against DC statehood in this thread has boiled down to one of three things, all of which are retarded:
1. "DC shouldn't be a state because the Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom and hive mind which can never be questioned, thought we needed a separate federal district because of some archaic concerns that have utterly failed to materialize in 200 years."
2. "DC shouldn't be a state because you can always move to a part of the country where democracy is actually in effect."
3. "DC shouldn't be a state because the federal government needs to retain control over the National Mall where no one except the Obamas actually lives...and for some mysterious reason, also the rest of the city of Washington, where people actually DO live."
Read the thread again. There is another answer.
