An omnipresent force in suburbia, or at least in most of it's residential neighborhoods.
A quasi-fascist governing board, often set up by a subdivision's real-estate developer, who strictly enforce such rules and building codes as...
-Grass must be kept watered, golf course green and closely manicured, even during times of drought and water shortages
-No one uses their yard to grow their own food
-No patch of land may be permitted to return to it's natural state
-No rooms or other additions may be permitted above or in front of the existing home
-No potter's shed or tool shed may be allowed anywhere on the property
-No yard ornaments
-No rain barrels
and so on.

The homeowners association says you can't put an addition onto the front of the house. They also said you couldn't add a 2nd level (which would keep any additional property from being paved over.) They said that the only place you could add on was the back (which paradoxically is the only yard anyone ever actually uses.)
To get another idea of what a homeowner's association is like, watch the 1999 episode of the X-Files by the name of "Arcadia."

Espanol for "Great River"
One of several rivers where the gringoes dump their shit into before reaching Mexico. All rivers that are shared by the Yanks and Mexicans flow from the EUA south into Mexico. In the case of the Colorado River, the Californians, Nevadans, and Arizonans pretty much take everything of value out of it before it flows south of the border.

Every year, thousands of illegal migrant workers wade across the Rio Grande and back for starving wages and the constant threat of being poisoned by pestacides and other leathal substances. They're the reason the Yanks can get such cheap meat and produce at the local supermarket.
