47. Drunks peeing through mail slots, sex in alley-ways...

vandalism. Enh, I don't really care about the sex. I'm a WASP and proud of it. And if I lived in a multi-million dollar home, I'd want to keep the madhouse out, too. Hell, I don't want it in my middle-class neighborhood (and no, I'm not part of a neighborhood watch). Georgetown on party nights can be a pretty volatile mix -- white, black, brown, suburbanites, city kids, military, tourists, you name it. A non-WASP friend and his non-WASP partner live near 34th & O, and I don't blame them one bit for wanting to protect their home and 'hood. Lucky bastards, they've owned since around 1984. Cha-ching!
