A Community of Non-Community

Finally, someone is vocalizing my frustration about the absolutely dismal failure of Washington DC to clear out snow and ice after a gimpy little "snow storm" last week, or all the snow storms before that.

I know none of you who live in NW DC truly truly claim DC as home, and don't care or in fact probably hate your neighbors, but please just put a little salt on your part of the sidewalk.

Now to Mr. President: the thing that you should really be introducing to DC is not "flinty Chicago toughness", it's neighbor ethics, or "snow/ice ethics", and giving a bit more of a damn about the place in which we're all temporarily residing.

Been here 5 years and I have still not changed my mind about the number one reason why I don't like DC -- it is the epitome of racial and class segregation, with those in power having every intention of keeping things this way. And did I say that these DC transients are all a bunch of arrogant, self-important pricks?

I know I'm also part of the problem here, but I really do feel for those that live here, and know only DC as their home. Sorry for trespassing.
