  1. 13:33 No, that's the difference between Federalism and confederalism (unless you talk about the federal government maintaining the ultimate power). Of course the civil war and slavery made "confederacy" a rather dirty word on the US... That said, it worked for Switzerland from 1291 to 1798, so it's not like it's unheard of... A complete dissolving of the US would be a disaster. But I really, really think that it would be a good idea to switch to a confederate model, where power is channeled from the bottom up instead of from the top down.
