Why are people in DC so pretentious

[dutchbrodymoss]

This weekend I was in DC for a job interview. After my interview was done, I decided to take a stroll around the National Mall.

And what I realized was that; well the impression I got was that people in DC were rather pretentious. I don't know why. But after my epiphany, I decided not to work for the Think Tank I interviewed for.

Any how, I'm just wondering: Why are people in DC so pretentious?

If you agree with me, propose some hypotheses as to why people in DC are so pretentious.

If you disagree, tell me why.

Thanks. I'm just really bugged out because I imagined DC to be a really great city to it turned out to be just a bunch of pretentious people. People who think they're self-important, or else they're conservatives who try to act like they're liberals but they're really just rich conservatives in a state of rebellion.

Okay that's it. Thoughts?

I am not sure what you based on how you thought the people in DC are pretentious. What impressions did you get to come up with this conclusion?

You're going to paint the whole city with a broad brush based on your stroll around the mall? I saw DC several years ago and the first thing I saw when entering the mall was a homeless guy pulling a Burger King bag out of a garbage can to enjoy a few fries. That was thought provoking. What did you see that made you feel this way? Please try to be specific.

If you went to a bar on Wall Street, you might think the same thing about New Yorkers.

are you sure you're qualified to work in a think tank?
