#1 I'd always really rather the "capital of the world" is always wherever freedom rings. Under that definition, it's usually not geographically or philosophically coincident with any political power center, but everywhere and nowhere at once. Wherever people are doing their own thing, minding their own business and being left alone by everyone else while they do it. My two cents...
