...promoting acrosol sprays to be aimed at seven different crucial bodily junctions doesn't convince you of the role of corporate capitalism in fomenting the ongoing crisis of taste in America, you might take a look at the current "number-one", where bad taste at last swims home to spawn at the fountainhead of the corporate aesthetic--Detroit, Motor City, Michigan, the town that brought you fins, concrete, smog, motels, controlled obsolescence and drive-in movie theatres...
More than a decade ago, it became clear that the booming West and Southwest would soon need far more electric power.

As a result, the area's electric utilities decided to build new plants as far away from people as possible-in the desert shared by Arizona, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico. Eventually, a consortium of 23 public and private organizations in seven states were involved in planning...
...descendants have dotted the countryside with so many fishpond cooperatives that their annual production of carp and related fish (1.5 million tons) nearly equals the total U.S. catch.

The free universities, for instance, have to refuse that absolute corrupter, academic credit. The communes have to decline the slick publicity which will no doubt spawn Communal Weekends at posh resorts. Horny house-wives are already flocking to places like Esalen, looking for miracles and a good...
