      <![CDATA[Rich, poor, black, white, creative, consumer, intelligent, down to earth. Et cetera!<br>
<br>
If there's one thing that spans the history of humankind<br>
 it's the burning desire to think your group (or your ego)<br>
 is somehow better than those around you.<br>
<br>
At school you're smarter,  the bank... richer, the grocery... more frugal and health conscious, at the library, the yoga place, the gym, on the freeway, at the airport, at the club, and in the music store, at the rally against gerbil abuse, on the street, in the bathroom, in the cemetery, in your dreams and nightmares, endless competition and a never ending struggle for dominance over everyone else.<br>
<br>
Elbows out!

      <![CDATA[I dunno. As an old person who grew up in the EV, I'd have to say the biggest flaw in the argument is that at the long-ago time you're referencing by your examples and in your slideshow (1950s through 1980s), you could actually move to Manhattan with virtually nothing, hook up with any number of subculture groups doing whatever crazy projects, do tons of drugs, drink and have lots of sex for very small amounts of money, depending on your tastes and appetites and really experiment with how you wanted to live.

The first problem with this argument is that this isn't true.
