ghetopatmetto, I am with you 100% about taxation without representation. DC residents should be allowed to vote as residents of Virginia which donated DC to the Federal government. I don't know how they could have given away the voting rights of DC citizens though.

I realize that for some people assigning meaning to words takes the fun and versatility out of them. Politicians hate such limitations too. Sorry. Yo! As one citizen of this galaxy to another, here is an apropo and inspirational quote.-


"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all.""
