Then tell us. Might as well share your LSAT score as well. You know you're dying to. Let us bask in the munificence of your genius. |
You are the perfect client. I’d gladly take your money. |
| No, I’m not the one offering cheap advice where I shouldn’t. I only ever mentioned because you “fragrantly” violated my reputation (yes, that happened on the Hill in the meanwhile) |
WTF are you talking about? |
| It was an MTG joke. Google it |

Last night again, chaotic scenes and loud, ripping engines and souped up speakers from the ATVs, dirt bikes and cars with license plates removed, terrorizing people in their homes throughout DC. Unchallenged, until the morning. Police without ability to act.
The issue, even beyond the criminality, noise pollution, children unable to sleep and study, is this: the message is that a DC resident does not matter. Their rights are easily trampled and sacrificed. No matter the subtext, these types of right erosion never end well, whether in the hands of left or right ideologies. Welcome to the post-democratic hellscape of our own making. See how quickly citizen virtue disappears when you deprive citizens of DC of their basic rights and dignity with impunity. And there’s not one candidate who won’t make it worse. If I wasn’t so depressed by the state of DC, I’d invite people to join me in boycotting the elections until those elected start upholding the rights and duties of citizens. What are we teaching our children? |

Why would we move to the suburbs? Never. I value my time and my surroundings.
I do worry though. The city will sadly likely re-segregate and the victims of the situation will again be the poorest and most disenfranchised. Particularly the children. |

“Resegregate”? LOL. I think you mean that your neighborhood would “degentrify”. |
| How did we end up with all these mediocre people at the top? |
That will only happen when everyone starts being considerate again and if we get off social media and start interacting with the people immediately around us again. Instead, we have dirt bike groups late at night and people fantasizing about seriously injuring them through hidden traps. In both cases people are actively ignoring the humanity of the people around them. |
