[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait, my taxes are ok to support a non existing police force that lets shop lifters and violent criminals off the hook but I can’t rent a second home to have my kid go to a school that’s better than the one where math proficiency is 37%?? If the system was functional, I would GLADLY use it. But it’s not.[/quote] Are you actually suggesting that you should be allowed to cheat and break the rules so long as someone, somewhere, at some point, broke a different rule? I would hope that your child would know better, even if you don't. [/quote] I’m paying into a system that isn’t providing the most basic social contract function, physical safety. It’s not someone, somewhere, it’s right on my street and on your street—it’s systemic! I witnessed a robbery in broad daylight, reported to the police, identified the perpetrator (who was later just sitting in the park with a pile of things he stole and I pointed him out to the officer) and the police literally did nothing. My kid was also witness to the track meet shooting at the end of last school year; the track meet was literally next to the most dangerous intersection in the city. Why? Because we are cosplaying equity. Meanwhile we feed the poorest of our kids (those who really need quality breakfast) sugary crap for breakfast in DCPS. I do support our local ANC commissioner who is one of the rare sane ones. But, no, if the system is rotten, I don’t feel an ounce of moral obligation to follow its rules. Watch The Wire. That’s basically where we are with DC governance. I hate Trump more than any person in recent history but he has a point about DC. :/ [/quote] Ask yourself why everyone here in the exact same position as you still thinks you are a cheater. If DC is so awful just move. [/quote]
