Yes, there is a distinction of them for me. You don't want my community board dictating how life should be in the rest of New York State. So you don't care about a difference between powers of States versus Federal? City versus State? As far as you are concerned they are all the same.

Your interchangeable use of them blurs the differences, a quite ignorant opinion for someone that I had thought was quite well versed. If you were to suggest "Government" as being that assertion, I'd agree with you, but since you are willing to put US in front of it but still allow it to encompass City, I'm not on the same page with you.
