It's grey, it's ugly, we don't know which is worse! We might just roll our eyes--and if we don't, we'll laugh at first! For anyone who caught that reference, you would benefit from looking into the works of "Screamin' Jay Hawkins." Meanwhile, we can't even be bothered to look up at our city skylines for what they are, given how little effort the designers seemed to put into them. WHY is Thomas Heatherwick so darn hard to place? Is he a fraud, ladies and gentlemen? WHY has history directed our buildings in this direction? WHAT can the average Sal, Sue, and Mavis do to solve this problem on a local, perhaps even state, level? And

Are the communists involved? Or, say...the Canadians?

No, of course not, and that's your reminder not to be prejudiced. But they did coin a little term known as American Exceptionalism (the communists, not the Canadians) which essentially means, you look as good as you feel. If you feel great, your buildings will match that. But if you're a good fifty pounds overweight with a bald spot, a mole on your eyebrow, and you have money (and love to make more of it!) then you may neglect your health. We are what we eat just as we are what we see.
