Hey North Korea just lobbed a nuke at US. What is Wall Street, CME or Hollywood gonna do? NOTHING! When the sh&t hits the fan, everything else is so unimportant. DC is the most powerful city in the free world.

According to what you just said would it be rather Pyongyang?
Seriously now, I do not think DC can score number of number two but it is a strong contender for number three US city.
I used to live near DC and yes, it is where the government is, but in terms of the actual city itself, no way is it number 1, 2, or even 3. Yes, it's the "Nation's Capital", but that doesn't make it the most important city. Is Sacramento more important to California than LA or San Francisco just because it's the capital? Is Albany more important to New York state than NYC? Is Springfield more important to Illinois than Chicago?

There's a big difference in that DC is the capital for entire nation whereas your comparisons are cities against their state capitals. DC is orders of magnitude greater in importance.

The difference in magnitutude does not make the analogy invalid. DC even though the nation's capitol is hardly ever considered a social, economical or cultural center of the US.
