Yea, right.  DC is nothing more than a little poor city that doesn't belong to
any state and just happens to be where our federal government decided to set
up shop.  I hardly think the major of DC has any power over foreign policy, or
domestic for that matter.  Now, the White House, the Capitol, the Supreme
Court...  those are the federal government.

I suppose that's why **ALL** road signs and "traffic control devices" look
more or less the same in every state??  And why every state has the car
driving on the right side of the street??  I suppose the federally mandated 55
mph speed limit in place for something like 20 years was just a mith??

Except when Big Brother deems it neccesary to step in and 'regulate' such
matters...  I'm sure the Federal Government would just laugh if DC suddenly
decided to mandate that all of the U.S. cars must have 1ft x 1ft hole on the
driver's floorpan to better see the potholes when they visit our capital.

Are you even out of high school?  Or college?  Berhaps a political science
course is in order...  now let's please go back to the scheduled Audi programming.
