did you hear? D.C. might get voting rights! you may have noticed (doubt it) that our license plates say "taxation without representation". it's actually likely that that phrase will no longer be true. our representative, Eleanor Holmes Norton, might have a say so rather than just sitting there trying to convince other state reps who actually do have a vote in Congress to go her way. DCPS has failed me and i dont know that much about government and history and such so if this makes no sense to you, i cant really clarify but im sure it's all over the internet.
i dont care that much. all im thinking about is how my plates will look stupid if i dont change 'em. but what will that be a change to? i remember the old plates before this initiative and they were *BLAH*. they need to host some sort of plate design competition or something...

When I was in D.C. for the inauguration I saw a lot of signs and posters for making D.C. the 51st state. I was thinking it's never going to happen, but then my girl from the area told me about the problems the school district and police department have operating as a district rather than a city or state. It's interesting to say the least.
