I wanted to let you know that a few weeks prior to Memory Replacement I worked for the Census Bureau and I was sent to the wealthiest neighborhoods in Manhattan as well as to the housing towers, and then I was sent to rural Georgia. I spoke to people from all walks of life and means, ethnic backgrounds and languages, people in $30 million condos and penthouses with self cleaning nanotechnology on the elevator buttons, people in trailer parks and mansions on UES and apartments on Park avenue, and beautiful houses on the hills in rural Georgia. I went to interview the homeless at soup kitchens, I spoke to literally hundreds of fellow humans and discovered this one great thing.
We are the same people.
And those that were nice to me were rich in their demeanor, and those who were not nice to me were poor in their behavior, and this was the only way I could tell one person from another, from where I sat, on their doormats, on their porches, or with their doorman.
