i'm so glad i live in an urban neighborhood whose diversity is itself
seen as a major attraction, and where displays of individuality are
not only tolerated, they are relished
in the interior west of the USA there persists a spirit of
independence; it has been abandoned in the landscape of the suburban
"projects" as i call them, the mass developments of the last 40 years
or so; however the urbs, the older suburbs, and the exurbs and small
towns are largely without restrictions on expression; so one _does_
have a choice
(the downside of this western freedom is that too few see value in
investing in the collective welfare and future)
Freedom must be tempered with responsibility, if you teach one without
the other you get anarchy which seems to be where we're headed.
