AFTERTHOUGHT: I did not know that a headquarters for the Department of Homeland Security is being built in Anacostia on the grounds of the former St. Elizabeth's mental hospital. Need I say more?
Listen! That sound you hear is the shredding of the social contract. - Bill Moyers
No. It makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteKay, I don't know if you are familiar with Anacostia, but it is a beautiful spot. I suppose DHS has to be somewhere, but I regret it has to be so near the home of the late great Frederick Douglass. I had a librarian friend who worked for the branch of the Smithsonian that deals specifically with African American history; that, too, is in Anacostia. But as I said, it was inevitable they'd put DHS somewhere. I could have made a suggestion of where they could put it...
