should read "but everyone around here is so in love with their metal boxes, privacy, privilege, selfishness..."

What people love is freedom, independence, and getting something for their tax dollars other than a sore ass from the ramming they just got once again from the self-proclaimed do-gooders.

Freedom and independence, coupled with privacy, are civil rights and 3 of the cornerstones of America. However Im not surprised you have a problem with that. I recommend Communist China, you will love it there.
