[QUOTE="Bill Koonce, post: 949192, member: 68938"] As a frequent visitor and occasional resident of the District of Columbia, I must heartily disagree with the statement above. People in the District get along quite well, actually. Pay close attention to the news. Take note of where the GOP's inflammatory "tea party" rallies took place. Not in D.C.!!! No, they were staged out in isolated rural areas and smaller cities across America. Also note that when Sarah Palin went out to promote her book, she too avoided centers of culture and education. Arizona [i]has[/i] emerged as one place where the worst in people is considered a virtue. No doubt it started when wealthy northern WASPs sought out an alternative to Florida, where they didn't have to rub elbows with so many "coloreds" and Jews. The gated community of Sun City stands out as the first large-scale example of Apartheid in America. Since then, Arizona has made news with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who publicized and profited from cruel and unusual punishment and other civil rights violations. Then there's the vigilante groups who literally hunt people "to protect our borders", crackpot politicians like Sharron Angle and the perennial John McCain. And then came the tea-baggers. No, Washington D.C. is very much like any other American city. It has its problems, and it has its shining moments of greatness. And although GOP talking points would lead you to believe that D.C. is a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, you might notice that those very same Republicans are doing anything and everything to get to D.C. and claim their piece of the corruption pie that they rail against from the other side of their mouths.
