LONG
ANSWER:
We
are children of progress and privilege. Suburbia is our
heritage and most probably our future. Comfortable enclaves, safe
havens from crime and corruption. So we have been told but we
know better. The Columbine Tragedy was not unique.
It seems like an epidemic this slaughter of children by children.
What was missing from their lives in this land of opportunity and freedom?
For those of us that have pondered this question seriously, we point
not to the demise of the American family, but of the American individual.
All of our neighborhoods are beginning to flow one into the other, indistinguishable
from the next. Local businesses are being shut down by the corporate
brand name or multi-national conglomerate down the street or in the
mall. Every where you go, the options are the same; mediocre,
mainstream, middle of the road. Where is there room for
hope, if you don1t fit the mold? Conform or die is the American
mantra, all of the highs and lows systematically edited for your
convenience.
Can
we save the mom and pop operation? Maybe not, but we can surely patronize
their establishments. Can we save the vacant children of suburbia?
Maybe not, but we can point the light for them to follow. Can
we make it better? Maybe not, but we can enjoy it while it lasts.
What
would you call the sound of an orchestra tuning up? We of the Cacophony
Society use this analogy, an orchestra tuning up, to describe our interests
and activities. We pursue random notes in our community, the true
culture of Colorado, and when there is silence, we create noise.
