Different

In their search for individualism, America has created the blandest, most homogenic society possible. Its costs too much to be individualistic in this country. You don't believe me? Try any of the following:
1. customize the house you are building: nothing special: just try to change the color of the facade ...or just put in a window where others have none.
2. alter a pair of trousers to suit your length
3. get a doctor to visit you at home
4. get a personal trainer so you don't have to attend group classes
5. get dresses tailor-made for yourself
6. try to get a vegetable seller to come to personally deliver your favorite vegetables - fresh - to your doorstep
7. get window dressings an inch shorter and half an inch wider than the standard available

The list can go on. Be it economies of scale in a capitalist environment or the philosophical views of a communist dictator- the end results are the same: you cannot afford to be different. The price is too high.

Shows you life comes full circle. In the end, hate is nothing but love turned inside out.
