I wasn't bragging about having a Republican governor. I learned long ago that the people who run the major political parties in this country have more in common with one another than they do with the American people; e.g. illegal immigration debate.

1) It's generally considered polite to include someone's name in the "To:" field, if you're going to talk about him. Just type it in, separate them with semi-colons. You get a pass this time, because you're new.

2) If you weren't bragging about the R governor, why mention him? Like it or not, the political climate in Maryland is totally dominated by the MontCo-PG-Baltimore Axis of Evil.

3) You think your neighbourhood is typical? Get a grip. There are neighbourhoods in DC, and in lowly, depressed, almost third-world Virginia that are also 7-figure median house value. BFD. DC is a hellhole, too.

4) Richmond is a sewer. So is Hampton, and much of Norfolk. In fact, most big cities are sewers. Like, for example, Baltimore. That's why I don't live in one.

5) I note that you make no effort to refute any of my points about Maryland. That's good. They're true. I had enough; more than enough. I left. I'm not deluded about Maryland.
