Call me crazy,
but I think the government is already pumping the propaganda machine to condition the next generation into accepting a life withour suburbia:

It's meant for 5 year olds. The clear messages of the recently released "Over the Hedge" movie (warning plot killer --if you can call it a "plot") is that:

  1. Suburbia is evil
  2. Consumerism is evil
  3. The Bears will control the markets
  4. Listening to the conservative reptile (turtle) is better than giving an ear to a wild eyed cornucopian (the racoon)
  5. We will be happier sticking with "family" values rather than wanting to accumulate massive quantities of processed food for our selfish bear caves.

Am I seeing too many mixed messages in this kid's eye movie?
This is a message from the same media elite that is bringing us "an inconvenient truth."  Our government seems to shy away from truths.
i doubt it was the brainchild of the government. probably some wise TOD reader.
