But i come from the Desert.
Once I noticed I was on fire, I decided to relax and enjoy the fall™

'tis a mourn till the earthcentrist's reign is done

"Most important, our encounters with others ten increasingly to be
competitive as a result of the search for privacy. We less and less often
meet our fellow man to share and exchange, and more and more often
encounter him as an impediment or a nuisance: making the highway
crowded when we are rushing somewhere, cluttering and littering the
beach or park or wood, pushing in front of us at the supermarket, taking
the last parking place, polluting our air and water, building a highway
through our house, blocking our view, and so on. Because we have cut off
so much communication with each other we keep bumping into each
other, and thus a higher and higher percentage of our interpersonal
contacts are abrasive.
We seem unable to forsee that the gratification of a wish might turn out to
be something of a monkey's paw if the wish were shared by many others.
Since our contacts with others are increasingly competitive, unanticipated,
and abrasive, we seek still more apartness and accelerate the trend. The
desire to be somehow special inaugurates an even more competitive
quest for progressively more rare and expressive symbols---a quest that
is ultimately futile since it is individualism itself that produces uniformity.
This is poorly understood by Americans, who tend to confuse uniformity
with "conformity," in the sense of compliance with or submission to group
demands....
But while trying to solve long-range social problems with short-
run "hardware" solutions produces a lot of hardware--- a down-to-earth
result, surely---it can hardly be considered practical when it aggravates
the problems, as it almost always does. One of the favorite themes of
American cartoonists is the man who paits himself into a corner,

"One cannot successfully alter one facet of a social system if everything
else is left the same, for the patterns are interdependant and reinforce
one another." (as they must by, since they never lost the quality of
being arbitrary, exept in the sense of their blind and unthinking rote
repetition)
