The ADIZ around Washington reminds me of my very forst experience living
in a big city... Houston, Tx. Previous I was only familiar with smaller
towns in Virginia. There I saw entire neighborhoods filled with houses
with bars on all of the windows and doors. At that point I realized that
the law-abiding people had become prisoners in their own homes... living
behind bars while the criminals roamed freely.

As a former pris... erm, I mean native of Houston, I can tell you that
you can get practically anything you want in the big city... except
out. There's not enough money in all of Texas to get me to ever move
back there
