     A friend of mine once offered an interesting suggestion along this
avenue.  He suggested a constitutional amendment be passed requiring
that the seat of govrnment, it's laws, it's records, it's employees,
and it's facilities be abandoned every 20 years.  His idea was to have
an election at the end of twenty years, create a new seat of
government, and have only one individual from the old government
transport a copy of the Consitution to the new government.  Upon
transfer, all government records from the old government would be
sealed for 50 years, the facilities auctioned off, the former employees
required to find civilian employment, and any elected official of any
former government prohibited from participating in any future
government.
     Sort of a scheduled form of orderly revolution.  :)
