- The Urban Zoo vs Insulin vs YahooGroups Configuration WizardSurrounded by concrete, I feel like an exhibit in a zoo. Why do people call it a "concrete jungle" or an "urban jungle"?

I can only move within a limited circumference, determined by the government and 'law-enforcement' agencies, who are, technically speaking, the zoo-keepers. |
