I heard that the Charleston Board of Architectural Review does not approve of mailboxes that are painted too bright or too colorful and that they especially hate psychedelically themed mailboxes. God forbid a paradigm shift! There will be no new innovation here, unless you have a permit of course. Anything progressive is a lot to ask nowadays. The nerve, I say, to ask me to "absorb new ideas and adapt to changes." How dare you! The only "living, growing, or changing" you see in a city nowadays is a new Walmart, McDonalds, or Starbucks. Well, in fairness, maybe that is just like "my opinion man (name the movie!)." Although, it is also my opinion that for most people in charge nowadays it would take quite a "paradigm shift", as you so eloquently put, for them to see "beyond their own immediate horizon." Most people are too busy watching "American Idol" or "Survivor" to care about enriching their surroundings or their environment. Well, to end on a positive note: uhhhhhhh: "Don't Do Drugs", and "Eat your vegetables", and here is a cool article/interview that is kind of on topic: http://www.thehumanist.org/humanist/08_sept_oct/crary_kunstler.html Nowadays you need a permit to paint your own mailbox.
