Ah, WW:

I think the WW might stand for Wayward Word this time. Yep, there are more people in DC than there are in Wyoming. And yep, they don't have a voting voice in the House and Senate (though they do get to vote for President now, which was at one time not the case.)

BUT!

Not ONE of those people was disenfranchised unwillingly. Not one of them was alive when the District was formed without representation in the Congress. They choose to live there. Each and every person in the District is free to pick up stakes and move across the state line into Virginia or Maryland if that vote is more important to them than the "prestige" of living in the nation's capital.

I'm reminded of the people who move into the flight pattern of an airport because the housing's cheaper there and then complain about the noise of planes flying over.
