Location, location, location. =) I'm an old man now, so maybe this is a kinder, gentler 'burque... your take on the town sounds pretty nice, compared to what I grew up in. DC *is* especially sad I guess, being our capital and all, choke-full of our nation's leaders. I can show you many places here that fit the same mold you give to DC tho. There's plenty of crack, smack, etc.. Plenty of drug-based crime. Plenty of poverty. Kids raising kids, blah blah blah. And it's not "whitey", it's "white-boy", or "gringo". :-) In all serious-ness, tho, I'm pretty sure it boils down to this little story: Someone journeying north asks an old man along the path what the next town is like. "What was the town you just came from like?" "It was horrible! Full of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll." "The next town is much the same", the old man says. Crap. There's a whole 'nuther half to that story, 'bout some other dude traveling south, but I can't dredge it up right now. Basically it is about perception. Ba-dum-dum! Yeah, I suck at punch-lines/fables. :] -- One cannot always live in the palaces and state apartments of language, but we can refuse to spend our days in searching for its vilest slums. --William Watson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
