thing even if you move back, Mitt is trying to get a religious group
to start preaching abstinence until marriage in the schools, as I
alluded to in an earlier post. Yeah when I moved here I didn't get
the big deal about baseball. We lived our lives geographically
inverse--I'm native of DC, now in Boston, you appear to be the
reverse. How can baseball be more of a big deal than football, even
when the team wins 3 superbowls in 4 years? But the people can be as
white as swans in parts of DC metro area too, and where I am they
certainly aren't. Sometimes I feel like every household speaks a
different language--there is no majority language. Haitian Creole,
English, Spanish, Portuguese, even Italian for some older folks are
all equally represented as well as others. You can be fluent in
English and Spanish and still not be able to communicate with
customers. But everyone walks everywhere, and we have a real theatre
district and real ethnic neighborhoods like the North End and Chinatown.
