If our local districts were decentralized and WE were responsible for the local area without having to depend on government budgets and taxes, i think we would all pay a bit more attention to what is going on in the world.
And it still happens in those remote parts where governance fails to reach - there are places in my state, where tribal people live with all the difficulties but they take care of everything themselves and don't wait for the government.
yes! i was hoping someone would share this.. thats what i think. the tribal villages are much more bonded with their area and it is much more their space than the State..
