![]() "Gould 0738" wrote in message ... Is it possible that you might have stole the prize from NYOB? I doubt it. But its beyond possible, in fact it is a demonstrated fact, that you cannot distinguish between a criticism of living conditions in Suburbia with a critcism of Subuarbanites. Gould said: "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." I am ignoring the fact, that your statement is incorrect, but it sure sounds like a criticism of Suburbanites to me. Imagine if I said, "Cities, where people live like rats stacked on top of each other, living in dirt and squalor because they are too lazy to pick up their own trash. Cities are a land of drug abusers whose god is their next fix. Cities, where prostitution is rampant. Cities, the primarily land of those who have failed at life". Neither one of these statements are correct, but both are criticisms of those who live in the city or suburbia. For you to say that Suburbanites elevates an SUV to the status of a god, was a criticism of suburbanites. The fact that you failed to see that shows how deeply ingrained your bigotry is. You remind me of racists who say, "I'm not a racist, some of my best friends are black". The "excellent" article you highlighted where the other's premise was ""And we are the real Americans. They--rural, red-state voters, the denizens of the exurbs--are not real Americans. They are rubes, fools, and hate-mongers."" Imagine if I made a post saying here is a excellent web site. Anyone with an interest in the black vs. white political dynamic will enjoy reading this excellent, thought-provoking web site. It's loads very slowly, but it is insightful and worth waiting for. http://www.kkk.bz/index1.htm A few hours later you said "There's virtually no way this country will ever come together again. Not as long as one side or the other thinks that compromise is either an insult to intelligence or a sin against the Bible. We're in the last generations of the American Empire, I suspect." It sounds very similar to the "US vs. Them" mentality that the KKK preaches. Instead of separating from other American's we need to pull together for our common welfare. |
