blow this
maybe it's just because i've never used one before, but i think that our suburban love affair with leaf blowers epitomizes our inherent nature to a) spread our problems thin until they're no longer noticeable, b) tuck our problems away as if under a rug, or c) blow them far enough away until they're somebody else's problems.

oh, and it helps if the above are acheived by burning fossil fuels.
