Crackheads, guns and lobbyists …

In my opinion there are three ways one can respond when confronted with people making stupid comments in print:

• Ignore them
• Rant and rave
• Do something

I am usually one to follow option number two, but some friends of mine are much smarter than I and chose option number three.

They came across the Web site of the popular Let’s Go travel guides, and saw that the city they lived in and loved was being described in terms better reserved for urban war zones. Even going so far as to insinuate that anyone who ventures east of 14th Street should beware to avoid the crossfire of turf warring crackheads with assault rifles.

However, instead of simply writing the publishers to complain, they decided to start their own guide for both visitors to the city as well as residents. The result? our-dc.
