The urban wars are...

...just around the corner...

…indeed the scuffles are bigger all the time, the conflicts nastier and nastier and invariably the battle lines have been drawn between neighborhoods as surely as between countries, which they are in microcosmic form; and as inexorably as a river flows to the sea, War In The Streets worldwide is inevitable; semi-unarmed masses to arms to arms vs. the well-heeled, well-armed right and ruling class, the aristocracy, or…

…maybe not, we may be hammer and tong & mob & gangbangas & Rotary Club in league with one another fighting off a common enemy from elsewhere in the Cosmos, another planet and another people (thing) to stress us out, but first:

The Urban Wars, ethnic group on ethnic group, block against block, street against street; a lunatic’s sarabande of flashing box cutters and street sweepers mowing down the opposition…where else but in America. Indeed where else? By now, everywhere.

...the news is out, all over town, around the globe, dans le village and in the hinterlands, down 5th Avenue and into Kabul to the Steppes of Russia and the world over, we have reached critical mass, the point of no return; those 60s posters of the world and all on it run amok are either true or coming true at a rate approaching terminal velocity.
