So you are perfectly on board with the surrounding states taking back their territory and incorporating them back into their own states then, yes?If that was what the people of DC and Maryland and/or Virginia wanted, then sure. However, MD and VA don't want DC, and DC doesn't want to be absorbed by one of them. They want to be their own state. The territories are the ones with a better argument for not being states imo, since in a practical sense they are relatively autonomous and culturally separated from the US; them choosing independence might make more sense. The citizens of DC are in no important way different from citizens of any of the 50 states, and there's no excuse for them not having a voice in Congress and yet to be uniquely subject to Congress's whims (e.g. Congress has blocked gun control in DC, which they would not be able to do for any state). --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! ...
