> from the suburban fear of those always on the move, who set up camp
> for a night, or pay rent, unlike the Good Citizen who believes he
> 'owns' his home, although it is more likely to be owned by a bank,
> perhaps even a Jewish bank. Everyone must live in a simply connected
> space with an unbroken line around it. Some put hair ropes, to keep
> snakes out. Any who live outside property-lines of any scale are
> automatically a threat to the suburban order and by extension the
> State. Conveniently, Jews have this history of statelessness." AtD 185
