[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread actually clarifies a lot about DC for me.  It has the reputation for being a city full of really awful people.  I've defended that more times than I can remember by telling people that it not that people from DC are awful. They are just busy and stressed because it's a tough place to live and work.

I was wrong.  [b]You people suck[/b].  I'm thankful I didn't raised my kids anywhere near DC. They were babies and preschoolers the first time.   When we moved back they were grown. Seriously, go back and read this thread. [b]If you are "grooming" your kids to be anything other than kind, loving, hard-working, compassionate people committed to finding their own path - you fail as a parent.[/b]  If you are pushing them towards the college of your dreams, please seek therapy.  I see the result in real life in DC and here on dcum and it's really, really ugly.

THIS is why we are choosing between a monster and a criminal for POTUS.[/quote]

I believe there was an article in the Post just this weekend about how the well-off seemingly lack empathy.  This is the kind of thing that shows where it all starts.  I come from a solidly middle class background - mother was a nurse, father a lawyer and retired USAF officer - and I worked in service jobs throughout HS and college.  During my senior yearin HS, I delivered pizzas.  In the more sketchy areas of town I received higher tips than in the wealthier neighborhoods.  I wonder why that was?  Now, I know.  [/quote]
