Sanitized Reality

In their view of Walt Disney's reality, the Salamones speak of how Disney created a new reality. One that was far cleaner and far more of a dream world, to be in place of reality. The constant kindness and goodness flowing from characters reflect the sanitization. They also speak of "Main Street." The fictitious community centers surrounding a city hall where the community activities form an epicenter for local life. Everything is cleaner, everything looks nicer, and everything makes a borderline attempt at replacing what you thought your youth was like. By imaging your own childhood shared such memories as a kind old jolly mayor that ventured about the Main Street speaking with the commonfolk.

In small towns, there are sometimes an unbelieveable amount of churches. Literally, you could find a different church every block. These small town congregations like to craft their own reality for their children and neighbors. They may keep their children from R rated movies, Halloween, and public schools. This desire to keep young ones sheltered results in a separate reality relevant to only those who create and those who experience it.
