2) it is an eample of how our traditional public spaces, town squares and shopping streets have been subsumed by private interests who continually attempt to control the messy edge of public life. You may say, "so what, where's the Gap?" but I think this is a big issue that not enough people consider.

I'm with you on 1, but I think 2 has always happened. "Private interests" have always tried to control society, in their own close-minded fashion of what is acceptable and what is not. The only difference now is that there are faster methods of dissemination - we're talking about it a day or two after it happened, rather than years after. Perhaps much of the ipercieved ncrease in control (beside the actions of a certain Commander in Chief) is simply... the perception. You hear about it more, so it's happening more?

So when is this thread going to be closed?
The OP clearly didn't add his own thoughts and comments to his post.
