Since nothing much seems to be happening with the board, I thought I would go on to discuss the principle of sudsidiarity: 1.) It is more democratic to allow those who are most affected by policy decisions to make the decisions, as when imposing pollution controls on an area; 2.) It is not only more democratic, but it is more efficient, because those closest to the situation are in the best position to calculate trade- offs--- for example, a rich locale might be able to afford more stringent regulations than a poor one; 3.) Also, local contol permits greater diversity among population centers, and therefore allows individuals to locate in the most congenial environment; 4.) Finally, such diversity permits a greater degree of policy experimentation, so that we have a better chance to see what works and what doesn't in such areas as crime control and education; 5.) Therefore, decisions should be made at the lowest level of government feasible, and only rise to the next level when it is unfeasible to contain them. And this is called the principle of subsidiarity. The previous argument goes with this as arguments for limited government, which virtually all Republicans subscribe to.
