CHOICE IS NOT FREEDOM -by Shannon Adam
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
I would like to have a few of those time lapse cameras
|
|
aroundwhich would capture the subtle and obtrusive changes which
|
|
areoccurring in WEST END. We are in the fishbowl of the free
|
|
marketand are witnessing the rapid extension of limited freedoms:
|
|
thechoice of coffee, the choice of cafe, the choice of which
|
|
realestate to purchase our investment properties from, the choice
|
|
ofwhich suburb to move to when the rent get to high or
|
|
landlordsget "their kind of people" as tenants
|
|
|
|
Well, that is my point of view, but to see what the changes
|
|
and"gentrification" look like from your angle, a few people have
|
|
puttogether a survey to gather opinions. The various ideas,
|
|
andcomments will be written up and included in the next edition
|
|
ofthis paper
|
|
|
|
This survey is not being done by scientists and you will not
|
|
bescientifically selected. In fact we would be happy if you
|
|
wouldselect yourselves. If you are interested keep an eye out in
|
|
localvenues/shops etc. and you can add your version of life
|
|
andchanges in West End
|
|
|
|
The survey is not right. If you disagree with the way a
|
|
questionis asked, a question being asked, or the absence of a
|
|
question.... please make notes in the margins or wherever. We
|
|
wantto get inside your minds. We want to know what you think,
|
|
whatyou feel
|
|
|
|
But remember this is not surveillance. It is fun. We are
|
|
yourfriends. We care more than you do. We will look after
|
|
everything so there is not need to be politically active. Do not
|
|
stoppatronising cafes. You really need a new car. I think the
|
|
newDoc Martens are essential. Everyone has the right to
|
|
bepsychoanalysed
