What culture?

What good is multi-culturalism?  I'm having trouble seeing the value in a group of cultures in close proximity working independently for toward segregated ends.  What we need, I think, is unity.  A blend of cultures that leaves no trace of any one culture in the wake.  Churn, churn, churn them in upon one another until a new culture is born thick and rich with flavor.  That's how we build community.  Imagine yourself as a bird flying over your hometown.  Here's what mine looks like: along the train tracks and skirting the town reside the poor -  squeaking among the links of the filthy industrial and business district.  Stepping  beyond there are the older neighborhoods where the aging middle class resides in single-story homes with fences under 80-foot silver maple and honeylocust.  Flying past, we come to the high-amenity areas, fringed with forests and dotted with quaint fountain-ponds.  Here lie the rich.  Sprawling 5000 square foot lairs packed inside their walls and washed in the blood of the lamb, as they proudly drop their tithe in the basket - hearts aflutter.

Where is the community in this arrangement?  The wealthy animosity for the poor is clear.  They draw themselves to the northwest because they know the air is cleaner there.  They leave the poor to wallow because they believe them at fault for their plight.

There's more to this thought.  But I have to get to work.
