Feel the same way. We have been here for 20 years and can't stand living here. As soon as DC finishes school we are outa here[/quote]

There were no entitled people in Bethesda back in the day?! Are you people serious?

Yes. We lived near all kinds of people. We all lived in the same-sized houses. I'm talking about people who owned car dealerships, dentists, correspondents, the head of the washington bureau of a major news outlet, scientists, a minister, a teacher, an instrument maker, diplomats -- everyone lived in normal-sized houses. People were normal. They were decent. They said excuse me when they needed to get by you instead of staring at the horizon line and waiting for their anger and hatred to penetrate through your skull and make you get out of their way. They said, "After you." "No, after you." instead of "you yield to the fastest car." People knew each other. We knew the people in every single house in our development. Every single one. It was unheard of to wash your hands of someone. People didn't go around saying others were users every time their lives overlapped. When my father died, one of our neighbors came over and vacuumed our house. No one said, "Why did you let them use you like that? They should have vacuumed their own house or paid a maid to do it" the way people on dcum regularly do.

Yeah, it was much better then.[/quote]
