I think they arose because of the insular quality of small town life, even well into the 20th century. With the advent of TV, and the internet, people seem to talk alike, dress alike, and think alike. It's like a great leveler. I only hope that some of us are able to capture the slices of time where we can SEE the differences before they are gone and we are a homogenous, mass with one voice and one face. Fortunately, on the LUG we have such a diverse collection, that I pray we all don't get assimilated into the mass culture too soon... If anybody suddenly feels like buying a Nikon or Olympus stylus- call quickly, and a LUGger will come sit with you until that feeling goes away! Dan dwpost@msn.com
