However we see this problem emerge in the US regardless (e.g. centralization and the abandonment of rationality). The Federal government is dictating affairs that should be settled at lower levels. When the States do something the Federal government does not like, the Federal government attempts to retaliate. When a court does something the Federal government doesn't like, it stochastically endorses violence against the judges. It's an alarming trend, but one will most likely have to get worst before people realize how far away they've deviated.
