It was as close as i ever got to cleanliness and freedom, as far as i ever got from all the people. They had jerry-built the beaches from San Diego to the Golden Gate, bulldozed super-highways through the mountains, cut down a thousand years of Redwood growth and built an urban wilderness in the desert. They couldn't touch the ocean. They poured their sewage into it but it couldn't be tainted.
