Seperti yang kita lihat belum lama ini, yang ada di Indonesia itu kemasan dan istilah sedemikan menyedot perhatian.. sementara inti/isi-nya cenderung diabaikan.. Mendengar kata federasi langsung saja mendorong reaksi penolakan bahkan finalisasi label 'negara kesatuan'.. Meskipun kenyataan sebenarnya adalah 'negara kapling'.. wilayah A untuk MNC X, B untuk MNC Y dst..
Jadi, negara kesatuan dengan otonomi dan penyedotan kekayaan alam oleh MNC dan pencicip cipratan.. tanpa diikuti pemerataan yang wajar.. lebih menarik ketimbang perlombaan untuk maju bersama.. Jangan" pendukung sentralisasi memang lebih banyak dengan slogannya: 'Udah deh biasa ajah'.. :-P CMIIW..
