There is no longer a frontier in America. There is no longer any room for building without some level of demolition. The elite demolished to build what they have now, and don't need to demolish more. Despite this, they criticize those not in power who want to do so to be on an even playing field.

I've heard of the phrase in the context of 'how things used to be' and how things are bearable because this world has not returned to that way yet. Before your comment, i had no idea it was a book. Sounds like a good read.

the history and old gods stuff has always interested me, and provided a stark contrast to the wimpy shit i was taught in school. A single disagreement between father and son could lead to a house tearing itself apart depending on who backs who. A house was not just a single family, it was everyone related in that region living under one roof. None of this "talks things out" crap that solves nothing. A swift kick to the bastards nuts was all that was required to solve my childhood argument. Took me 3 months to figure that out. Also got a week vacation from school for my trouble. Best fishing trip i ever went on.

i'll find a copy and give it a read, i've used that phrase for years and had no idea it was a book.
