    After the revolution, the capital will be moved to Detroit or Chicago. ;-)

    Huh? I thought Canada did that. but tho Canada didnt exist; the Royal army that burned the 1st WH was made up of Canadians i thought.

    Stupid.....I cant remember any history from the school days.

      There was no Washington, DC before we built it as our capitol. It was done that way so that no state or city could claim pre-eminence over the others.

      If Washington could not be rebuilt in any reasonable amount of time, another block of land would probably be donated from several states and the new capitol built there. Following the logic of the original location, the land would have to be more-or-less unoccupied, and centrally located. I'm thinking somewhere bordering Kansas.

        TMM: Good point. You would have to have a lot of pre-existing transportation infrastructure, though, nowadays. So that's why I chose St. Louis.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          I nearly put in 'the Kansas City area', myself. My parents live there now--lots of nice, big highways and rail links without a hell of a lot moving on them (the highways, don't know about the links). Airport's small, but could be expanded. Lots of open land for development.

                Nah, they'd never work as an American capitol.

                Well, maybe...nah.

                    but my real answer is Las Vegas.

                    It's where those sinful politicians belong. at least when they get blowjobs under the table, it will be legal ane expected.

                    We are surrounded by mountains making it defendable by land. We have an AFB for air force one.

                          The US will just become states of Australia so the capital will be Canberra.
