The status quo is cartoonishly unjust.  Not only is there taxation without representation, but the people of DC are forced to host all those congresspeople from the backward states, and they don’t even get a regular vote in Congress.

Having said that, I’d prefer DC’s absorption into Maryland rather than statehood.  DC is too tiny-looking on the map to be a state (yes, DC has more people than Wyoming, almost as many as my state, but states should be fairly visible on a map of the US).  Ottawa is part of Ontario, and that works fine.  We could learn some things from Canada.
