There will always be diversity. Hell, go to a army base, where all the cars
are the same, the houses the same- everything issued and "the same"
Suddenly, it's your place in line at the copier that's "diverse".
IE, it's More than just some thing from the XXth century, or whatever.

Well, the FBI is supposed to be one of those "common defense" agencies with
jusisdiction over only interstate activities. When it was formed in 1908, the
country was more of a federation than it is now.

That's one of those oddities of political language. Federalism refers to a
federation of states rather than a federal entity, hence the confusion.
I like Federalism, which is not to say that I dislike the U.S. government
but that I think it should stay out of issues like education which are
inhere
"Federal"..like the FBI. So when I hear "federalization", I think of a trend
towards the central
government.
Oh well...semantics.
And Marketing... What government agencies name themselves would have little to
do with the linguistic meaning of the words chosen.
Hmm...ok, that word confuses me because in our system, anything that is
controlled by the central government is referred to as "Federal"..like the
FBI. So when I hear "federalization", I think of a trend towards the central
government.
Oh well...semantics.

of the power while the central government sees to the common defense and
interstate activities with little control over other activities in the states.
Our current system is more a republican system with the central

I don't socialize with my neighbors at all.

Acording to Harvard University sociologist Robert Putnam there are short term
problems with making a community diverse. Having read his paper, I disagree, I
think the problems are long term based upon the xenophobia intoduced in this
country in the early 20th and late 19th centuries.
