This is why I love living in Phoenix. Phoenix is American excess in city form.

Excess sun, excess heat, excess consumption, excess sprawl, etc.

As long as people inhabit this desert valley --they'll never be able to pull it off here. Every 15 years, the producers pick up and sprawl to newly built areas leaving the old stuff behind.

Now, ofcourse, I do know they'd love nothing more than to have policies that make this place uninhabitable --as it nearly was before air conditioning.

Taxation is a form of control. So are the social programs they finance with our taxes. Get us hooked on government money, then threaten us into compliance by saying they will take it away if we don’t vote for them.

We need leaders who want us to be self-sufficient not encourage more dependence.

Eventually, conservatives will be accommodated. We are now the core of the GOP -- the Tea Party has shown there is no shortage of willingness to organize and mobilize in conservative ranks.

This being so, either the GOP accommodates (it does not want to), or else the conservative movement begins to migrate to a new pole of political activism, and the GOP fades like the Liberal Party did in Great Britain between the wars. In the event, the Liberal Party faded right out, and the Labour Party, Reds and all, took its place. The Liberal Party's remains are now interred somewhere within the British third party.

When I think of cities anymore I also think of James Burke, he had an interesting name for cities: Technology Traps.

I tend to think of them instead as a sort of barn or dairy.

Cattle trapped in stalls, and milked to death, then knackered for their meat when they're old and their milk production begins to roll over.

Leftists want people to regiment into work crews, to pull giant statues of the Left's gods up long ramps onto high pedestals.

Economic royalists want them for milk and meat.

Either way, the relationship is abusive, predatory, and one-sided. The Second Amendment makes it two-sided.

You have a good visualization going there.

In any case though, just like anything else when it gets too big it also develops points of weakness.

Cities came about for several reasons. They provided centralized locations for the production of specialized items, education and of course governance and the armed forces those in power needed to control internally and protect against aggressors.

Now though? Well they do much the same and more, unfortunately for those trapped inside them they are also totally dependent on deliveries of commodities from outside. The biggest three of course are Electrical Power, Water and Food. Control those and you control the inhabitants within the city.

One last thing to think about.

Let’s go on the assumption that the liberals do succeed in taxing us out of the Suburbs and the rural areas and back into the hell-hole cities. Will that change Conservatives into Democrats? No, I don’t think so. But it will Dilute the voting power of Democrats already in the cities. They will not like what they have created.
