yeah, the electric wires over and above my house are an eyesore, too.  
and occasionally a pain in the a** when they all get ripped off by 
haphazard free-growing trees!   i push for a new form of "Tree 
Efficient" Urbanism, where there is less chance of a million people 
losing power for a week.

we could either:
A: hack down all the trees (don't think the granolas would go for this)
-or-
B: maybe spend the extra dough to put this ugly/dangerous crap 
underground?

ah well.  one can dream...
