>>975586When my parents bought our subdivision lot, there were two parcels behind it. The developer told them that they were too small and would never be built on, but that they wouldn't allow my parents to buy them. One day in the summer we came back from somewhere, and I just remember the bright blue sky where the trees had been. Now there are two houses there and no more songbirds. The ensuing rant that came out of my 9 year old mouth as I hurled rocks at the brush hogs finishing up their work included the first "fuck" I ever uttered aloud. I ate soap that night, that was my first brush with civil disobedience.
