Ah yes, Suburbia. Where everybody lives on a dead end street. Suburbanities
endure private "covenants" requiring them to conform to the neighbors, so that
when it is time to paint the cloned house (with the cloned landscaping) any
thought of individual expression is squelched in favor of the "public good."
Suburbia, the fantasy consumption neighborhood where the economy produces
nothing and the SUV is a god. Suburbia is a land of economic imperialism- all
wealth and resources in Suburbia are extracted from some remote area (the city
to which all commute). Suburbia, the primarily lilly white land of cultural
conformity.
It's no wonder you guys in Suburbia vote Republican, the party reflects the
values to which you subscribe in everyday life.
Would *you* want to live in northeast Washington DC?
I do live on a dead end street, along with a Pakistani family, two
Afghan families, an Afro-American family, two Mexican families, a
Korean family, a Saudi Arabian family, and three other "lily white"
families. I wish we were all wealthy, but I'm the only one who owns a
boat. (A 21'er, not the upper end of the boating spectrum!)
We don't have a homeowners covenant that we've signed, so we can all
paint our houses with purple polka dots if we desire.
Describe your neighborhoods for us, Chuck. Do you live in downtown
Seattle, where all the factories are producing something?
Or were you just being negative?
