My House, Is a Very, Very, Very Fine House

"THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARRIET" WAS SET IN AN IMAGINARY small town where there is never any politics, any contention, any heart-break. Everyone is happy. Everyone is well fed and well dressed, lives in a nice house and has the same heart and the same values. At the center of this world are "America's favorite family, the Nelsons," as the show's announcer says. Ozzie plays a character named Ozzie Nelson; Harriet, a character named Harriet Nelson; and so on with David and Ricky. They all live in a virtually unchanging harmony; they love to walk into rooms of the house and greet each other. Scene after scene begins with: "Hi, Mom. Hi, Pop." "Oh, hello, boys." Scene after scene ends with: "Bye, Mom. Bye, Pop." "So long, boys. Have a good time."

The problelm is that Ozzie and Harriet don't live here anymore and the imaginary small town doesn't exist anymore.

I gotta agree with Local Reflector, Washington School can buy uniforms from wherever they want to, they made a business decision based on research they made. Just take those "I Believe" stickers off your bumpers, because what you want to believe is that the imaginary town pictured above is still here. What you don't want to believe is that you might be part of the problem, if you aren't part of the solution.
