I might be moving to a midwestern town in the next year and my wife and I are discussing what we want in a house. We are torn between buying a mcmansion-like thing on a couple of acres by the golf course or buying 10 or so acres of woods and building something a little smaller (but not small, maybe 3-4k sq feet, 5 bedrooms) with a full solar setup and no laws preventing me from putting up a small pole barn for beer making.
McMansions are, at the root of it, bad because they are bad taste inflicted on the public. I can choose never to eat a Subway $5 footlong. But my visual field is still polluted by someone else's cathedral to bad style writ in beige and drywall.
Life is short and the universe is cold and indifferent. We owe it to ourselves to fill our environment with stuff that is beautiful, interesting, and weird. Don't settle for an oppressive bland, ugly reality. Fugliness is a crime against consciousness.
They also drive Mercedes or BMW SUVs and wear pastel pink Bermuda shorts.In my experience, McMansion-lovers are a really touchy, overly defensive bunch, and they tend to lash out unecessarily, distastefully, and unattractively when they see McMansions being criticized.
And while were at it, we can ban water towers, homeless people, amputees, the overweight, and everything else you might not like to look at. Sounds great! :jerkoff:
