Tho I come from an extremely "mongrelized" family myself I find your take
on things dismaying. Do you really believe watching Bruce Willis in small
theaterettes in large malls built on former cornfields evinces a "pivotal
development in human culture" that's WORTH a flying leap?

I usually lean more towards a "burn the cities" approach, but if "mixing"
rather than urbanization makes everyone involved stupid and shallow maybe
returning to rez life and the current urban trend towards "apartheid" are
steps in the right direction. No sense dooming our species to insipidity.
