I suppose I'm a "lefty" too... at least I am a liberal Democrat. My sister lives in an area that was a development back in the 60's, and the houses are not all the same or made of ticky-tacky. For that matter, we live in an area where the houses were developed in the mid-50's in a new neighborhood. Gosh, am I really a conformist? I never found the song offensive, but I suppose at times I have been mildly irritated at the unholier than thou attitude I hear. I like my neighbors. They're good people. Several of them bought their homes here in the 60's at the time Melvina wrote the song. No concern about their feelings being hurt. I doubt there's a person in town besides myself who has ever heard the song. It's certainly nothing to get wound up about, one way or the other.
