"Some envious outsider made the suggestion that no one was eligible for membership who was not white enough to show blue veins. The suggestion was readily adopted by those who were not of the favored few, and since that time the society, though possessing a longer and more pretentious name, had been known far and wide as the "Blue Vein Society," and its members as the "Blue Veins."

"Industrial Society and Its Future, by Theodore Kaczynski.
INTRODUCTION
1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have
been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly
increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in
“advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society,
have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings
to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and
have inflicted severe damage on the natural world."

Get the Industrial society and its future mug.A upscale neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA, where mostly rich white liberals live. They tend to think they are better than everyone else because they live in the nicest neighborhood in Philadelphia (along with Rittenhouse Square and Chestnut Hill). The area is extremely historical and old, and the houses are all huge but don't look it from the outside. Everyone knows each other and all the kids are dressed in Ralph Lauren and are taken by their expensive nannies to Three Bears Park as their blonde, non-employed moms have coffee with one another at Java and gossip. Overall, a very wealthy, cute, and pleasant neighborhood.
