I understand and I agree with the premise - but the reality we are forced with limits rational action.
The New York governor DOES NOT WANT TO BE THE GOVERNOR when it is time to do governor shit - he put that shit on global display earlier this year. The same goes for Mayors in Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Baltimore, Minneapolis, New York, DC, St Louis - the list goes on and on - everybody wants to be Mayor 'tll its time to do Mayor shit !!!
...they defer to the federal gubmint.

The states have to WANT such a convention.
The states have to WANT to govern themselves.
The states have to WANT to a assume a "broken windows" system of governance.
(and I dont mean 'let the looters, rioter, criminals, thugs, and mainstream democrats break windows as a system of governance)

States have to WANT to start fixing problems by addressing the small things.
...broke a window? FIX THAT FUCKING WINDOW - otherwise the neighborhood goes to shit because nobody lives "happily ever after" in a neighborhood full of broken windows.

The problem is there are just too damn many cities in this country are populated by people that think the broken windows theory is racist. Far too many activists and MOST of the media go out of their way to exploit the charge that broken windows is racist and authoritarian.

I agree that the states need to throw the bullshit flag at the federal gubmint - if only we could find Governors and Mayors that really wanted to walk the walk.

They have my vote - regardless of party - if they can just convince me that they are sincere.
