"the biggest reason for mr. davis' free ride, however, lies in the self-dramatizing tendencies of ordinary middle-class angelinos. these love to pretend that they live in one of the world's toughest urban jungles, beset by warring gangs and malevolent Nature, when, in reality, the biggest danger they face is that the person behind the counter at starbucks might mishear their order for a double-tall, decaf, non-fate latte with a vanilla shot and make their coffee with full-fat milk by mistake."
ugh.
