Beautiful lawns, spacious homes, happy families.
These are the hallmarks of suburbia.
But if you look beneath the veneer of gracious living,
you will see a battle raging,
a battle for control.
You see the combatants everywhere,
engaged in their routine skirmishes,
fighting fiercely to have dominion over the world around them,
all the while knowing, it's a battle they will lose.
Control. It's extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it.
Some rely on deception.
While others engage in outright trickery.
Then there are those who resort to extortion.
Why do we fight so hard for control?
Because we know to lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others.
And what could be more dangerous?
