Well said, you're very right. Hmm. So what is the counteraction being employed? Besides arson? How does one reject these tumors? I wasn't ware there were terms for these things. Terms are good. Labels are good. They are assault weapons. Slogans. IMO, they are the most crucially important weapon of public perception and change. Perhaps I should go to the library, or you could steer me to some of these criticisms. I may take this one lying down, as is my desire, or I may not. They may be finally really messing this perfect place up. People talk about how that is inevitable. They have good practical reasons for that, which may be a truth ~ that all good towns are destroyed. My own effort and consideration has led me to that same conclusion, and that good works only slow the disaster. Shoot. Oh vell. Knew it was gonna happen. The scale is exploding auto-motively.

Just got back from a field trip to Baltimore with Nick's 6th grade class. The entire 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade GT, that's two classes, each grade, and there were other schools. We went to an IMAX show, and I am standing in a very large crowd of children, funnelling into one door into the theater, and trying to figure out where the fire exit is, because that's one of the things I do. And there was just the one set of double doors in, and another on the third floor out. Crazy.

lately, it seems that there is a good deal of growling and muttering among the architectural critics about the "inhumanity" of the architecture being thrust upon us... Two good, small books on the subject, CS Lewis The Abolition of Man and Tom Wolfe's From Bauhaus to Our House I had one customer on a rural route who designed his own house with no obvious front door. The first time I took a letter up to the house for a signature I walked all the way around the house looking for some place to knock; there were several sliding glass doors, but none of them gave a clue as to which might be the 'front'. The dude who lives there is some sort of eccentric genius. Designed optical systems for the space shuttle, but otherwise is looney as a jaybird.
