Ahhh… the weather… the sun, the warm breeze, the birds, the bees… and the bullets.

Such a shame, our nation’s capital. A city which should be the crowning jewel of this country, a place where social policies have seen one failure after another. Countless millions upon millions of dollars have been given to DC to fund social and welfare programs, there is even a hand gun ban, yet DC is still one of the most violent places around, filled with poverty and crime.

How embarrassing for this country, and what a shame the streets aren’t even safe enough for a 7 year old to play. Sometimes I think the best thing this country could do is, through attrition, make DC a non-living zone. As the people move or die, the federal government should buy the property back and give it back to the people in the form of parks, museums and other cultural attractions. Of course, we’d have to keep the business districts, but all residential districts should be returned to the people.
