politricks and other distractions

When I look at this photo, the thought that fills my mind is: this is what D.C. will look like if it suffers a real terrorist attack someday. Another majority black city that nobody cared about. People's lives being put on hold or ruined. A city's heritage burning while Capitol Hill serenades us on their violins and finds out what the lobbyists want done.

But of course, it being D.C., it will be much worse than New Orleans because we won't even have people in Congress or the Senate fighting for us. Note: The above is the result of even having people (albeit of the wrong party) fighting for you.

Where did the meaning of "public servant" go, exactly? Anybody seen it around?

That's why this stuff bugs me so much.
