Okay, in this piece I'm talking about cultural anxieties about modernization / "civlized" life in America in the 1850s, as reflected in Thoreau's *Walden,* and you're talking about...some grievance you have against The Discourse in the 21st century. Good luck with that. I'm just going to keep working on my Arc Digital series on 1850s debates about the meaning of civilization. It's really not about you, at all.
