Make changes in 2012

In the movie "2012," Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth's core is heating up. He warns the government that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world's population, the entire race is doomed.

Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world's leaders race to build "arks" to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world.

Now we're pretty certain that 2012 won't be the end of the world. But there is a part of us that thinks if there were some reason that we had a "do-over" on how we structure government, there is no way we would design the system we have today.

One example is village government. Every village resident in New York state is paying both town and village taxes. Why? Why should village residents pay town taxes? What services does town government offer village residents?
