"Situations evolve without anybody noticing," Ross says. "Civil liberties are taken away piecemeal but they're rarely given back. So it starts with kids giving up some of their independence to sit on the circle at Montessori school, and that's socialization, or learning to live within a group, but at some point it gets a lot rougher than that."
Inch by inch America is becoming a totalitarian police state, as the author states quite eloquently.
zoolander: specific to your life: what are you not allowed to do because of the "existing police state" in the USA?
Also: what's with the dig at Montessori? The entire point of Montessori is to teach kids to be independent and have faith and confidence in their ability to enact change within their own environment. If the author gets that very basic understanding wrong, how can I trust the rest of the article to be any better-researched than this glaring mistake?
it is somewhat off the topic because i am not thinking about the architecture of incarcerations in particular but rather reminded of berlin free university from zoolander and liberty bell's comments. i think going through architecture education, we all think about what free means in opposition to order, and it seems to me that it has more to do with what perspectives we take. personally, i had to go through an adjustment from my spontaneous love of feminine curves and of organic free forms to open linear organizational schemes and grammarian considerations of precedents. ironically but clearly, it created new inceptions possible. subsequently however, what started to question my world was the definitions of love and eros, and i am still in the process of trying to see the light in that regard.
