[andie nachgeborenen]

Yeah, but I think dispersal plays a big role. Back
when, working class folks lived together as neighbors
in the Back of the Yards, drank in the smae bars, hung
out on the porch, went to the union hall if they had
one. Now withthe car and burbs, as noted in previosu
threads, we are dispersed to the winds.
