I often wonder why people blame Prince George's and it's residents, even the government to an extent for all of it's misfortune. People always say that Prince George's wont get its act together but never take the time to notice it's trying very hard.
Well after the people and the government, who is left? The Easter Bunny?

How bout this, Prince George's will trade the census bureau and irs for the pentagon in northern va, that's two for one. I'm sure they'll make a great catalyst for private enterprise and contractors. That's right H&R block is looking your way nova!

Even better idea. They will trade all their criminals, low lifes, & generally bad influences for Bill Gates. Thats like 1 million for 1. I figured while we're throwing out insane speculations we might as well go for broke.

Your incompetence saddens me. You threw out some insane proposition so I threw out another one. When did I mention VA? Also when did I mention race? You keep your racist and antisemitic comments but thanks for letting us know what you really are.

Regurgitate what I just said, how clever of you! Who exactly are you painting with that large "thug" brush in a majority Black County?

I've noticed that certain people will say dramatic words like "insane proposition" when someone is onto something truthful. I don't fall for it. Here's an example people just believe the opposite of it.

How exactly did you earn the pentagon or Arlington back (well the later was slave trade but that another story)?

Did Va, give lots of tax incentives to Feds, low tax rates, good schools? What exactly did you do all the way back then to earn it?

Also you really think that it's "insane" to say that the agencies in Prince George's pale in comparison to the ones in Va? What are you smokin so I don't ever inhale it?

Get a clue, there's already been study after study on the East West divide in this region. The placement of federal agencies and infrastructure in this region has altered the future course for all jurisdictions that make up the Washington area. And it's obvious the Federal government had bias towards the western and predominately white areas when they did so.

Strip away the Pentagon and defense from Nova and what really do you have left? Take away Washington and what really do you have left. Certainly not anything on the va would be the epicenter of the region. Baltimore's influence would be your dependency. Va would continue to be the redneck backwater.

It's amazing Prince George's is doing as well as it is.

Ah, so ironic.

By the way, I've lived in NoVA for years and never heard it called that. Probably because there are very few Mexicans in Fairfax anyway. The Hispanic population is mostly Salvadoran.

I don't really see why defending PG (which does have plenty of good qualities) has to include name-calling of other jurisdictions. Doesn't seem all that helpful to your cause.

And since you had to drag race into this...

The Pentagon was built in 1943. Prince George's County was 18% Black at the time. (By comparison, Fairfax County, VA was 16% Black.)

There's no doubt that VA was favored (for class reasons, most likely) but to say that race is the reason the Pentagon (and by extension, every defense contractor) is in VA is a bit of a stretch.

The race card, a final pathetic attempt when you don't have a logical thought to stand on. Since you want to make up ideas and claim I said them I'll play along. I guess since you can't actually prove wrong what I said you will basically change what I said so you can. Okay, I'll bite. How can you possibly think that PGC is wildly successful with the aliens living in the sewers? I know their Bigfoot population surge is partly to blame but there must be some responsibility. Stop blaming the dinosaurs and unicorns who fled for their safety.

I knew you would fall for it, why do those south of the border always cry "racist". You can't be racist against nationalities.
