Ah, one of the few that truly understood the reasons for
Morse Code. (And the decided lack of it now.)
American home buyers, fully aware that their futures and
their horizons are being altered by international forces
they can neither anticipate nor prepare for, are willing
to shortchange each other and give up their right to modify
their environment, in return for being able to keep anyone
else from doing so. The "paradise" they are purchasing is a
pale imitation of what it could be, but they'll settle for
it never being less.

We must adapt or perish.
