Thread Name: Unsafe parts of town
Subject: RE: Unsafe parts of town
If I were you I'd stay away from any capital city of any state in the USA where they have Supreme Court buildings-----especially the nation's capital Washington DC where the big hotshot court is located. One never knows what they'll do. They profess to be moral leaders but they have been known to act in the name of whatever ism and hue is currently reflected by their majority. In the 1960s it seems to me they were actually legislating in favor of the left (if you are inclined to believe the right wingers). And recently they have once again created law by diciding on their own who won a national election for the presidency of the country. If power is the extent to which you can inconvenience others, then those nine individuals have shown their willingness to wield it in ways that discommode people of all races, religions, quirks and predispositions. In that sense, at least, they are admirably consistent. Being predictably consistent is hardly enough of an asset to outweigh their obvious disdain for the will of the people they supposedly serve. Indeed, their hautinesses seem willing and able to do whatever they want to do at any given moment. And that's what's so scary about the DC area in these modern times---more than any danger from any piddling little street gang.
