Bemoan, Bemoan Part 2

(See Bemoan, Bemoan Part 1, 6/27/2009)

Frustration, backpacking through the urban thorn, flag bearing for architectural preservation. So many buildings altered in ways I find deplorable.

Yet I hate these notions: the superior eye, the fecundity of artists--the elites, raised in a monastery of beautiful things, cultivating greater sensitivities.

Typically, I try to recognize competing cultural mandates, and the by-products of resourcelessness.  Still my non-judgemental cover bloweth, mainly to vociferate: 'how could one think X is preferable to Y'?

Can people really not see the difference(s)?  The envelope 

please......and the answer is...YES and NO.  People can see the difference, and the difference is of little value.   Utility is paramount.  

House as utility, as vessel.  How many can it shelter, bathe and feed?
