We all need to think more like Jimi. :)

DE-CENTRALIZATION OF POWER.
De-centralization of power was the norm in Europe and Asia for most of
mankind's existence.
It didn't work. Before there were expansive monarchies there were
feudal warlords (governors of small areas), whose primary purpose was
to battle other warlords and try to steal whatever it was that they had.
Elected governments are quite different.
In Democratic Republics, they people elect representatives who are
SUPPOSED TO act on their behalf. To a degree, our elected officials
do just that. Sometimes they act of their own volition, and too often
they act on behalf of special interests who've contributed ca$h to
their election campaigns.
...But regardless of influences, and no matter how well our
representatives actually represent our wishes, WE, AS VOTERS, make the
ultimate decision as to who will represent us NEXT TIME.
That sure beats trying to move away from the battling of the feudal
warlords.
