Death of small government

The City of Maywood is constructively gone. It is the beginning of a trend, a trend away from small cities. This article explains it fairly well.

In Ireland one hundred thousand people are protesting their governments "austerity" measures. Ireland is trading it's sovereignty for bailout money. I am Irish. Ireland had been the poorest European country for as long as anyone could remember. During the last 30 years it finally had some wealth and now it will return to being the poorest and lose it sovereignty.

We are seeing this consolidation in cities and nations. What do you think of it?
