28. I first noticed it back in 1992

when various NPR commentators, most specifically Cokie Roberts, assured us over and over again that Bill Clinton had zero chance of winning the nomination, or the Presidency. I began to understand the entire "Inside the Beltway" mentality, although I'd noticed that during the 1970's when I actually lived in the DC area. That mindset has only strengthened in the decades since, and they are all like people who don't believe anyone else is entirely real.

Well, we are real, and we actually are an amazing and diverse bunch in this country.
