[Mary21979]

Having lived in the D.C. suburbs all my life, and as my mother and grandmother are native Washingtonians, I think your observations are right on target for most of the D.C. area population. It is downright scary. Washington used to be friendlier and more sleeply but has become very rude, rushed and elitist. I think part of the problem is that Washington attracts a lot of nerdy workaholics with little or no social skills, and social climbing, along with the right schools, clothes, cars and address makes them feel more adequate. Plus, as in Hollywood, there are so many big egos and yes men that they are used to being demanding and getting what they want. Also, there is the money factor, as this is one of the wealthiest areas in the country. I guess living here has seriously jaded me about politics. The most frightening thing is that most people here have no clue about the way the rest of the country lives or thinks and can’t understand why someone wouldn’t want to keep up with the Jones.
