[B]Move the US capital to Kansas City[/B]

Haha, that could work but this would never get passed.

The only reason I would see the capitol moving is if America went through serious reformation. Washington DC is symbolic of the US and unless we switch the entire direction of the nation, Washington will always be our symbol and capitol.

If we did go through major reformation than Kansas City would be a good site but if we don't, there is no need to move.

Can you provide an example of the type of reformation or redirection that would have that kind of impact?

I have always felt the strongest symbol for the US is Lady Liberty in New York's harbor. Next for me would be Mt. Rushmore. Washington DC has never really appealed to me.

I'd be curious to know what US symbols rank highest in people's hearts and minds. What are yours? (The question is to all, not just ph.)

The Liberty Bell. I'm a big Willie Penn fan....
