When Pierre L'Enfant's design was laid out, Washington was meant to be a haven of logic and order, with straight, broad thoroughfares befitting the capital of a new democratic nation. Under federal control since its inception, the District wasn't granted suffrage until the 23rd Amendment in 1961, and didn't obtain self-rule until 1974. In recent years, Washington once earned the dubious honor of being the murder capital of the U.S., and it mimics the Third World with its two distinct societies: the affluence of the mostly white northwest and the equally extreme poverty of mostly...
...that right every four years by voting. Think of the thousands of students who excel on the strength of their political beliefs and experience. Not a single one of those people has ever voted.

The influence of the restaurants, bars and nightclubs of Cambridge and Boston which draw students away from the houses should then also be reduced, if you follow the staff's silly logic. And no one is being dragged to a final club at gunpoint; if you disapprove of them, you don't have to spend time in them...
...developed a set of interpretations according to which the patriarchs prefigure Christians as heroes of faith. The Jewish Midrash, although more flexible and occasionally even playful, also strove to harmonize scriptural difficulties. Both approaches were developed as aids to the believer: they worked from the assumption that God's logic was impeccable; only man's understanding was wanting. But readers may miss a chance to identify with the patriarchs' vibrant humanity and to sharpen their own faith against the peculiar abrasiveness of the Biblical characters...
