Yeah, I've spent time in DC but not since the late 80's. It was pretty bad once you got away from the Federal areas back then. It's got to be third world style by now, I guess, but it shouldn't be. It's our Nations Capitol for cripes sake. It's a shame. I used to visit an Aunt and Uncle in DC when I was a kid, back in the 50's. It was such a nice city back then. Now the Marxocrats have destroyed it like they destroy everything the touch.
I can remember the early 80's in DC...OMG...13th and 14th streets...wow. I can't even remember how many political limos I saw stop and pick up hookers, boys, girls, etc. My friend worked at 8th and I. He told me how they would have to post guards to keep certain politicians away from the interns living quarters.
It is a mess, and has certainly stagnated even more since then.
Term limits.....GOD BRING US TERM LIMITS!!!!
