Well said, you're very right. Hmm. So what is the counteraction being employed? Besides arson? How does one reject these tumors? I know.... How, indeed.... In recent years, a number of us have had to deal with a different but similar problem... A sod operation which goes heavy on the herbicides and irrigates the fields day-and-night from a man-made lagoon which has made the water turn brackish on several nearby farms.... Large tractors are often left running day and night to run the pumps on the irrigation system... The roar can be... infuriating... on a hot summer night when you have all of the windows open. Luckily, it's not so bad from where we are, much worse for some of our neighbours though.... but I have had "thoughts"..... on how to deal with these pestilences.. A well-aimed hand grenade sometimes seems an appropriate remedy depending on my mood and the level of current aggravation. 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'll think on this... may even be able to remember who has squawked the most vociferously against the scurrilous non-human architecture of our time... This is an area of hot debate lately... so, it seems, that you are in good company... 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. Yes, odd how it "begins".... Like the camel and the tent... Just the nose at first... then the head.... then the front end... and then the butt and tail... and out you are... tentless.... Only, in most cases, it seems to be the camel's ass-end that comes through the tent door first.... A pox on change for change's sake... who needs it...
