Nope there are plenty of other valid reasons for not
giving the District representation.  Especially since
the District was explicitly created as a no-man land.
Many people were against citizenship for the district
before Marion Barry started his "Drugs are Cool" image.
Of course with Marion Barry we have proof that drugs cause
memory loss - and if you can't remember what memory loss
then you need to ask people what you were smoking since you
probably don't rememeber that either!
