pop culture, of course, reigns well beyond the
suburbs. but, i don't think that it's questionable
that the major influencers of pop culture --
big business and to an extent, the govenment --
are controlled almost exclusively by white people
with lots of money. who tend to dwell in the
suburbs. i don't think multsanta or i are trying
to say that EVERYONE who lives in the suburbs is
guilty of some ethical crime, rather it's just a
convenient label, and i shall retract it and
replace it with "fatcats" or "cracker bourgeoisie"
if you'd like.
