    • Abstract:
      Washington D.C. is itself a colony, and feels like it. Its citizenry is highly segregated, has no right to vote in Congressional elections and enjoys no meaningful self-government. Unemployment and dereliction are high, but one does not have to stroll far to see the rotting housing and badly paved streets with which the budget-conscious authorities can't be bothered. It's one thing to say, as local boosters do, that our quarter of town is so marvelously "diverse," but this diversity will curdle if it is left in decay.
